Encourage future growth in the Center, Metro, Enterprise, Suburban, and Village Planning Areas to maintain Vermont's historic settlement pattern and respect working and natural landscapes.
Why Is This Important?
The Center, Metro, Suburban, Village, and Enterprise Planning Areas (all but Rural) are considered "areas planned for growth" displayed on the Future Land Use Map below. Increasing investment in denser, mixed use growth areas will improve economic opportunities, housing options, transportation options and improve community health. Focusing growth in the appropriate planning areas is also a cost effective approach to increasing the supply of affordable housing, reducing energy consumption and using existing infrastructure efficiently.
