A Small Town in Vermont Says, 'No' to Workforce Housing

Our parent company, SMGraves Associates recently won the nod to build 123+ units of workforce and moderate income market rate housing in the town of Dorset, VT.  This was slated to be a $90MM project and one of the first in Vermont to take advantage of new programming including the Communities Housing Infrastructure Program or CHIP.  NIMBYs cratered the project before it even got off the ground and after the SMG team won the Request for Proposal process SMG founder and podcast host Scott Graves offers us what consequences there are to our institutions when a small group of wealthy individuals can impact a community in this way.   You can find out more about the SMG team and their Rural Density approach to responsible development by clicking here.  Don't forget to subscribe to founder Scott Graves Substack for more content.
