Senate to hold public hearing on proposed revisions to Vermont’s Current Use program

Last fall, a Senate special committee on current use toured the state, taking general comments on Vermont’s current use program as well as hearing public reaction to House Bill 329, which would modify the program. Based on that tour, the special committee is proposing amendments to the current use program and H.329. ‘
The special committee will be hosting a public hearing to hear comments on the proposed changes on Tuesday, January 28, 2014, from 6 to 8 pm in Room 11 at the Vermont State House. ‘
The public is invited to participate in person or to submit written comments to the committee. To mail comments to the committee, send them to Rebecca Ramos, c/o Senate President’s Pro Tem Office, 115 State Street, Montpelier, VT 05633-5201, or email comments to [email protected].’
