Madison supervisors endorse regional legislative platform, push to amend SB 974 threshold The Board endorsed the Rappahannock Regional Commission legislative platform and supported efforts to amend Senate Bill 974 to raise a population threshold (from 5,000 to 20,000) so more localities can retain planning-commission review of site plans.

Interesting article and debate over housing policy. In Vermont, in recent years, Legislature has taken various steps to promote more housing including adding restrictions to local zoning powers. Possibly just the first steps in reigning in zoning that limits housing density. #vtpoli #localzoning
