Regional liaison warns Fayston to align town plan with Act 121 flood-safety rules by 2028
Summary
Andrew McNealus (CVRPC liaison) told commissioners that CVRPC and ACCD face litigation over Montpelier’s Town Plan approval and urged Fayston to prepare for Act 121 (the Flood Safety Act), which will require towns to align river-corridor and flood-related rules by 2028.
Andrew McNealus, serving as the CVRPC liaison, reported that CVRPC and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) are being sued over Montpelier's Town Plan approval. He emphasized the need for local attention to Act 121, the Flood Safety Act, and said the state is adopting new river-corridor and flood-related rules that Fayston will have to align with by 2028.
McNealus provided a meeting-packet link in the minutes and advised commissioners to be aware of the Act 121 timeline as they proceed with the Town Plan and Land Use Regulations update, noting that compliance will likely require review and changes to local regulatory language and mapping.
