The Land Use Review Board is seeking an organized and dependable person to fill a temporary Land Use Review Board Technician position in our Montpelier District Office. This position involves administrative and technical work in support of several District Environmental Commissions. Ideal candidates will have strong analytical, communication and collaboration skills.

The Land Use Review Board is an independent entity in state government that oversees the administration of Act 250, Vermont's land use and development law. Act 250 was enacted by the Vermont legislature in 1970 to protect the environment in balance with sustainable development. In 2024, Act 250 was amended by Act 181, which seated a new 5-member, full-time professional board to modernize Act 250 to a location-based jurisdiction system. The law establishes standards and priorities for environmental and aesthetic protections and is responsible for helping Vermont retain its rural character, preserve the natural environment, and support the state's environmental diversity - which foster distinctive, attractive communities and a strong sense of place.
