The Vermont Land Use Education and Training Collaborative had the following ten bulletins developed to address the revisions to Chapter 117 and implications to planning, zoning, development review, housing, and more. These bulletins (3-4 pages long) provide the most comprehensive information available about the Chapter 117 changes.

Hard copies of the bulletins are available from your Regional Planning Commission.

These documents are in .pdf format. Some have lower-file-sized versions for you to download (images will be a little grainier).
