A proposed development project located on a nearby property is going through the Act 250 process. What chance do I have to participate?
A. If you are an adjoining property owner, you will be notified by mail when the Act 250 application is filed. Adjoining property owners are automatically allowed to participate to the extent that they can demonstrate that the project will have an impact on their property under one or more of the 10 Criteria. If your property does not adjoin the proposed development but you feel that there still may be impacts, you can request Party Status from the District Commission. In either case, you need to attend the first hearing or the prehearing conference, if one is held, to request Party Status from the District Commission. See the District Coordinator for more information regarding party status.
