Issue Position: Sustainable Development

Issue Position

Ginny fostered and passed the Growth Center law. That law can help municipalities plan to provide thriving downtowns and productive working landscapes. New reforms are needed to insure that sprawl so common to other states does not consume Vermont. At the same time it is important that planned economic development can occur with appropriate environmental regulation. Integrating local ACT 200 planning, Act 250 natural resource regulations, and ANR standards can protect our beautiful state for future generations. Ginny looks forward to working on land use permit legislation during the next session.
