Selectboard votes to send letter expressing concerns about Act 181 changes

Brian Dubie updated the Selectboard on Act 181 developments and presented a proposed letter addressing the town's concerns. He said the Road Rule and Tier 3 are being repealed, and board members discussed worries that changes tied to Act 59 could allow a tax-incentive program to transition toward a state-mandated conservation program without adequate notice or input from affected landowners; they also raised the potential negative impact on land enrolled in current use when owners work with foresters.
