JFO: Expanding "10% for Vermont" could unlock $30M for housing but cost state interest income in worst case Ted Barnett of the Joint Fiscal Office told the Committee on General Policy that raising the "10% for Vermont" cap to 12.5% could allow roughly $30 million in additional housing investment (about $12 million for off-site construction) but may reduce general fund interest income in a worst-case scenario by about $600,000 per year; JFO also flagged an uncertain $1M interest retention and two unfunded positions.
