A proposed Manchester housing development sits at the intersection of two of Vermont\u2019s biggest crises: a shortage of affordable housing stock and the growing threat of flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed 43-unit project on a 8.2-acre field beneath the shadow of Equinox Mountain would include at least nine units of workforce affordable housing, according to the Manchester-based developer Paul Carroccio. The project is sited in a mixed-use zone and a flood hazard overlay district, according to the developer\u2019s permit application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester neighbors have voiced concerns at town meetings that the project, located on a flood-prone field, will have negative environmental impacts on future tenants and make flooding worse on their own nearby properties. Residents have also voiced aesthetic, public safety and other concerns with the proposed project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the state\u2019s Land Use Review Board determined the project is exempt from Act 250 \u2014 Vermont\u2019s land use and development review process \u2014 because it qualifies as priority housing under Act 181<\/a> passed in 2024. The project includes at least 20% affordable housing units, is located near Manchester’s downtown and can be served by public water and sewer systems, among other requirements under the exemption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four neighbors with property abutting the project sent a reconsideration request to the state\u2019s review board, but the board upheld its original decision Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The floodwaters disproportionately hit Vermont\u2019s affordable housing stock \u2014 at the worst time<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby<\/span> Lola Duffort<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Federal Emergency Management Agency reports indicate that low-income areas with older housing stock were disproportionately impacted<\/a> by past flooding events in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annette Smith, executive director of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, said the affordable housing crisis has spurred \u201cirrational exuberance\u201d for development without properly considering environmental impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith said she is concerned that low-income Vermonters living in affordable housing units built in flood hazard zones without Act 250 reviews will be affected by future flooding and the town will be liable for flood remediation costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she would like to see the legislature repeal Act 181 and instead strengthen Act 250. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is disturbing to see that the legislative intent was to allow priority housing in flood hazard areas,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHow does it make any sense at all to put people in harm’s way?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
