No Act 250 bow-out for city housing plan

The owner of two Vergennes condominium and apartment buildings under construction overlooking Otter Creek has been denied a final attempt to avoid an Act 250 permit requirement. 

The local company that is developing a nine-unit, two-building condominium and apartment complex in Vergennes next to the Otter Creek bridge halted work on the project in late June when it learned for the first time it needed an Act 250 permit to proceed.
