Todd Heyman Testimony to House on Environment

Here's a cautionary tale from Todd Heyman of Hartland who owns a 5-cabin farm stay as a way to diversify their farming and relieve some of the economic pressure. Tens of thousands of dollars in environmental studies, attorney fees, architects, etc. And jurisdictional oversight is FOREVER tied to that parcel. He tried to build a home for his widowed, blind mother on his land. Nightmare scenario. That is what tier 3 + Road Rule will deliver IF allowed to be implemented as written. The people who can least afford the added costs and burden of more red tape get saddled with it. (text intro courtesy of Michelle Masa).
