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. She lead a working group for new reforms to insure that sprawl so common to other states does not consume Vermont. A 2014 law is modeled after recommendations from her working group. 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 integrating economic development strategies that foster planned land use.
