Newbury Selectboard votes to opt in to Act 250 Tier 1B, Planning Commission had recommended it
Summary
The Selectboard voted to opt in to Act 250 Tier 1B after a Planning Commission recommendation and confirmation from Newbury Village trustees; the town will submit required documentation to Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission.
Planning Commission member Larry Scott told the Selectboard both villages recommend opting in to Act 250 Tier 1B and described the step as unlikely to cause major local change while signaling a commitment to increasing housing availability. Scott noted that the town could opt out later if desired.
On a motion by Andrew Lee seconded by Susan Culp, the Board voted to opt in to Tier 1B and agreed to submit the required document to Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission. Trustee Robin Barone had confirmed Newbury Village’s decision in advance.
