Filling Babcock's boots at Vermont Environmental Board
Ken Senecal, 28, of Danby, named executive director of Vermont's Environmental Board after Robert Babcock Jr. resigned amid disputes over environmental priorities. The autonomous board, part of the Agency of Environmental Conservation, handles Act 250 appeals via seven districts, with final appeals to the Vermont Supreme Court. Senecal plans to gather information on development appeals and avoid influencing final decisions.
