The Status of Vermont’s Current Use Program, October 15 – 7pm
This summer, the Vermont Legislature hired a consultant to review the Current Use Program and created a Task Force to determine whether the Program needs to be modified. 3 hearings are planned this month to invite public comment on the consultant’s report, which is available online. The public hearings are scheduled at 5pm on October 10 in Room 11 of the Vermont Statehouse; at 5pm on October 17 in the Bridport Town Hall; and at 5pm on October 23 in the America Legion Hartford Post 26 in White River Junction.
To provide watershed residents with more information on the Program and the Task Force in advance of the October 23 meeting in White River Junction, the WRP’s Forestry Work Group is hosting a free event on Monday, October 15 from 7-9pm in the Royalton Academy Building in Royalton village. Bill Snow, Chief of Current Use for the VT Tax Dept., and Rep. Alison Clarkson, sponsor of the legislation and Task Force member, will present information about the Program and the Task Force, and will answer questions. Refreshments will be provided.
