Commission hears CVRPC update noting housing targets are aspirational and data-limited
Summary
During liaison reports Andrew McNealus said regional planning discussions flagged housing targets as aspirational, with limited data to support distribution across municipalities; commissioners agreed some flexibility at the local level may be necessary to meet administrative requirements.
Andrew McNealus reported on work by the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) and recapped a recent discussion on housing targets. He said participants raised concerns that the proposed housing targets lack robust data backing, may not reflect local capacity or public housing needs, and are therefore aspirational in some places while still necessary to satisfy administrative requirements.
The commission recorded agreement that flexibility could be applied locally when adjusting target numbers, while acknowledging the broader limitations of the underlying data and modeling. The minutes do not record specific numerical targets, deadlines, or an assigned follow-up action by the Fayston commission.
