LURB approves ECOS Regional Plan; CCRPC to implement Act 181 designation framework
Summary
The Land Use Review Board approved the ECOS Regional Plan without conditions, enabling implementation actions under Act 181, including the opportunity for municipalities to apply for Tier 1A designation.
Taylor Newton told the committee that the Land Use Review Board (LURB) approved the ECOS Regional Plan, concluding the multi-year planning process. Newton and Executive Director Charlie Baker thanked committee and Board members and staff for their work and said implementation is now underway under the regional designation framework established by Act 181.
Newton explained that municipalities may apply for Tier 1A designation and described distinctions between Tier 1A and Tier 1B status; members discussed the application process and Act 250 exemptions associated with each designation. The LURB approval, Newton said, was issued without conditions following pre-application review that incorporated feedback from state agencies and stakeholders.
