Dorset Select Board votes to send letter supporting repeal of Act 181 (H.325)
Summary
The board voted 4-0 to send a letter to Bennington County legislators supporting full repeal of Act 181 (H.325), citing redundancy with Dorset's strict local zoning and concerns about extending Act 250 regulations to the town.
During an update on H.325 (the Act 181 revision), Select Board members discussed how applying Act 250–style extensions could be duplicative given Dorset’s existing local zoning rules. After deliberation, Frank Parent moved and Henry Chandler seconded a motion to send a letter to Bennington County legislators expressing support for full repeal of Act 181; the motion passed 4-0.
Board members framed the vote as a formal policy position to be communicated to county legislators. No additional legislative language or draft text was provided in the minutes; the motion authorized staff to prepare and transmit the letter of support for repeal.
