Summary

After consultation with CVRPC, Fayston’s Planning Commission recorded that no areas in the town currently meet the criteria to move to Tier 1A or 1B under Act 181; commissioners noted this finding does not prevent future application.

The Fayston Planning Commission reported that, following conversations with the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC), there are currently no areas in Fayston eligible to move to Tier 1A or 1B under Act 181.

The minutes state: "After more conversations with CVRPC there are no areas currently eligible to move to Tier 1A or 1B pursuant to Act 181." The entry notes the town lacks a Village Center, Growth Center or areas served by municipal water and wastewater — conditions relevant to Tier eligibility — and explicitly says this finding "does not mean that it can be applied for at a later time."

Commissioners recorded the finding as guidance for the Town Plan update and indicated that eligibility could change if conditions (such as municipal water/wastewater or designated centers) are established in the future.
