Vermont conservationists weigh court challenge to development
The Vermont Natural Resources Council led by Justin Brande may seek a court injunction against International Paper Corp to halt mountain development in Stratton and Winhall. Conservationists fear overdevelopment will destroy Vermont’s character and doubt state politicians will curb the boom. They cite conflicts of interest among local officials and legislators and worry current agencies fail to enforce laws amid erosion and unchecked industrial activity.
