Vermont land use policy eyed as hearings near
Arthur Ristau of EPIC told Bennington League of Women Voters that land values now reflect Vermont proximity to big cities rather than land productivity. He stressed planning must reflect residents wishes, with hearings starting January 1972 and the January 1973 completion date for the Land Use Plan and the Capability and Development Plan. The state’s economy relies on services, recreation, sales, and tourism, and Act 250 underpins the permitting system.
