Summary

The legislation adds new rules for any project that uses tax‑increment financing (TIF) in Vermont. Developers must promise, and secure, that the extra tax revenue their project creates will cover the town’s loan payments, and they must include at least one extra protection for the municipality. The bill also updates housing‑infrastructure agreements to follow the same standards and requires municipalities to notify voters about the terms.
