The Vermont Senate Economic Development, Housing & General Affairs committee heard a presentation from Jessica Hartleben of the Vermont Economic Progress Council on draft guidelines and launch plans for the Community and Housing Infrastructure Program (CHIP), a statewide tax-increment financing tool to support housing infrastructure. Speakers described the program’s rules, outreach (webinars and a pre-interest form), a donated 24-acre Fairhaven site, staffing updates, and concerns about construction-cost inflation and timing; the portal and webinars will launch in the coming weeks.
