State Planners Convene Vermont Alerted to Suburban Acne
Vermont planners gathered at the Worthy Inn for the fourth annual Comprehensive Planning Conference to critique junkyards, ticky tacky houses, mobile homes, and suburban strips.

Rev. John Nutting spoke on the real reason Gov Hoff and the secretary were present.
