Housing Shortage in Vermont Towns
Like most towns in Vermont, and nationwide, Jericho is experiencing a shortage of diverse housing stock. The state is encouraging towns to make small changes to their zoning codes to encourage more housing. Jericho implemented some of the recommended changes in the 2021 updates to our bylaws and plans to make additional changes in future editions. We are collaborating with the Affordable Housing Committee and diligently working to encourage development of low income, and workforce housing within Jericho to supplement existing and ongoing development.
