Housing study: Winhall would need about 353 more housing units by 2040, report says
Summary
Selectboard member Julie Isaacs presented a regional Housing Needs Assessment that projects a 3% annual population increase and estimates Winhall will need roughly 353 additional housing units by 2040; the board discussed potential sites and flood-zone constraints.
Julie Isaacs presented highlights from a Housing Needs Assessment covering four towns, including Winhall. The study models a 3% annual population growth and estimates Winhall will need about 353 additional housing units by 2040. The assessment examined available land for multi-family housing and identified the old Outback property and town-owned land on Kendall Farm Road as possible sites.
Board members discussed suitability and constraints for potential development, noting that flood-zone mapping and land surveys will be important next steps before any site is advanced. The minutes record that the town will need to identify suitable parcels and commission surveys to assess viability.
