AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Wetlands & Housing: Gov. Phil Scott’s administration is moving forward with rule changes that make it easier to build near wetlands, shrinking the buffer from 50 to 25 feet in areas designated for housing growth; environmental groups had threatened to sue, but agreed not to after a compromise. Forest Economy: The Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund selected eight startups for a 2026 Forest Business Accelerator, aiming to grow new products and services tied to sustainable construction, packaging, carbon-smart forestry, and forest stewardship. Product Stewardship: Reverse Logistics Group won a contract to support Vermont’s Household Hazardous Product Stewardship Program under the state’s EPR law, helping manufacturers with outreach and cost allocation. Wildlife Science: Vermont Fish and Wildlife and UVM researchers are investigating a long-running mystery of transmissible catfish cancer in Lake Memphremagog, with new findings raising questions about what’s driving the disease. Public Health & Chemicals: A major study links pesticide exposure to a higher risk of ALS, with farm and pesticide workers facing the steepest increases. Data Privacy: Vermont joined a multi-state privacy regulators consortium to coordinate enforcement as Act 145 rolls out statewide by 2028. Land Conservation: Towns and land trusts secured funding to permanently conserve 2,000+ acres, protecting old trees, summits, town forests, and new trail access.
