Chair flags TRORC vote and growing local interest tied to opposition to Act 181
Summary
Chair Tony O’Meara updated commissioners on the Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission’s updated regional plan (vote forthcoming) and noted growing statewide opposition to Act 181, warning this may increase public engagement with the Town’s zoning revisions.
Chair Tony O’Meara reviewed the status of the updated Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) Regional Plan and said TRORC is scheduled to vote on the plan at its next meeting; he urged commissioners to consult the TRORC website for details. He also said his review of other regional plans showed different approaches to interpreting Act 181 and that TRORC had voted to change some language in its draft.
In other business Mr. O’Meara mentioned growing statewide opposition to Act 181 — specifically the so-called 'road rule' and Tier 3 restrictions — and suggested that opposition could drive more public interest and participation in local hearings about the zoning revisions. The commission did not take formal action on advocacy regarding Act 181 at this meeting.
