Description:
Act 200 was a landmark growth management law both in Vermont and in national planning history. It sought to fill the planning gap left in Act 250 to encourage growth decisions to take place through public, community-wide consensus, ahead of the project-by-project permit process. Fifteen years after its passage, the notable gap is state agency coordination and planning a piece of the law that faded away early in its implementation.
