Vermont Tourism Push Seeks Scenic Route 100 Pact
Orton chairs a 66 member Vermont Promotion group aiming to build and advertise a scenic Route 100 corridor from Wilmington to Newport for skiers and sightseers. They oppose billboard proliferation and may cite an old 1930s law to condemn land within 250 feet of the route to preserve views. Geoffrey Orton foresees large Girl Scout Camp in Button Bay drawing thousands, prompting talks on a booking service.
