Act 250 Application Processing

The Act 250 permit process is 45 years old, and happens across 9 districts throughout the state. The process and tools currently in use are dated and are applied inconsistently across the districts. Further, budgets are shrinking and staff are retiring, which means the same work will need to be done moving forward with fewer resources and less institutional knowledge. This project sought to standardize the Act 250 application process and identify efficiencies for the applicant and staff.
