Governor Signs Land Use Repeal

Governor Phil Scott just signed a major housing policy win—repealing tough land use rules from Act 181—that’s set to ease development pressures in rural Vermont. He credits a more balanced Legislature for making this possible, after years of frustration over laws that hurt affordability and stifled growth. With developers still stuck in a costly permitting maze and home prices soaring, Scott’s move is seen as a step toward common-sense solutions—but he’s not done pushing back against what he calls legislative hypocrisy, especially after his office’s rule change request was rejected. The goal? Real, lasting progress that listens to both rural voices and business owners. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
