I think it's extremely unlikely that this development would be sustainable in rural VT.

It's also worth noting that, despite the purported focus on 'sustainability', the corporation/cult ironically plans to rely upon drilling for fossil fuels and mining to remain profitable. Which is, by definition, not sustainable.

Vermont's Act 250 also likely precludes this development. http://dec.vermont.gov/sites/dec/files/permit-handbook/sheet...

I do not know much about Vermont however it seams like a good place, it is said in the article "you have selected the most incongruous place imaginable" Setting aside Indifference, Where would be a more congruous place?

And it's a district commission appointed by the governor that makes the decisions.
