Selectboard authorizes ACRPC Tier 1B status to gain Act 250 exemptions
Summary
The New Haven Selectboard authorized Chair John Roleau to sign Addison County Regional Planning's ACT 181 Tier 1B status, a step the board was told can provide Act 250 permitting exemptions and village-center designation benefits.
The Selectboard voted Jan. 20 to authorize Chair John Roleau to sign a notice of Tier 1B status under ACT 181 as advised by the Addison County Regional Planning Commission. The board was told that opting into Tier 1B can provide exemptions from some Act 250 permitting requirements and bring village-center designation benefits.
Marie Jewett made the motion to authorize the signing; it passed 5–0. The board did not record specific projects tied to the decision; the authorization is an administrative step to accept regional planning’s Tier 1B status for the town.
The action is procedural but may affect future local permitting by changing whether certain projects must undergo Act 250 review at the state level.
