Vermont’s governor and environmental groups have struck a deal to shrink wetland buffer zones from fifty to twenty-five feet in targeted housing areas, ending a months-long legal standoff and paving the way for faster home construction without sacrificing flood protection or natural resources.

This compromise balances urgent housing needs with environmental stewardship, opening up nearly two thousand acres while committing to long-term ecological safeguards.
