New ROOT permit will boost housing starts, Miro tells Legislative caucus

Former Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger joined lawmakers last Friday to present for Let’s Build Homes, a nonprofit where he now serves as executive chair. He criticized Vermont’s regulatory environment for housing, pointing in particular to a subjective permitting process and to burdensome aspects of Act 181 and Act 250. Ultimately, his message was clear, Vermont is not building enough housing, and reform is needed.
