Vermont’s billboard ban shaped state environment laws over years
Vermont moved from a one-man push in 1968 to a broad environmental regime as lawmakers, led by Rep. Theodore Riehle and Gov. Philip Hoff, passed the anti billboard law. The measure spurred subdivison controls and Act 250 in 1970, with later pollution rules and a nuclear plant oversight law, while about 1,200 signs remain to be removed with compensation for pre law owners ongoing.
