Commission hears brief updates on VT Homes preapproved plans and an EV charger grant at Ludlow Electric
Summary
A commissioner introduced Vermont's '802 Homes' preapproved plans as an option to streamline local permitting; Terry Carter reported securing a grant for an electric‑vehicle charging station to be sited at Ludlow Electric, approved by the Trustees.
Commissioner Eric Alden raised the VT Homes ("802 Homes") program, describing state efforts to make a menu of 10 preapproved, builder‑ready housing plans available so towns can permit certain projects without DRB review or engineering costs. Commissioners expressed preliminary interest and noted it may interact with ACT 181 mapping and plan changes.
Terry Carter said she has been working on a grant for an electric‑vehicle charging station. She reported the grant was approved by the Trustees and that "the unit will be located at Ludlow Electric" with town employees receiving a special rate and a separate public rate for other users. The commission did not take formal action on either item during the meeting.
