:
COMMUNITY SERVICE AREAS
(Cite as: 19 V.S.A. § 816)
-
§ 816. Access roads; State aid; application
When after hearing on a petition or on their own motion, the selectboard finds that
the convenience of the inhabitants and the public good require that a highway be laid
out or altered to provide access to a recreational, industrial, or community service
area and that the estimated costs of taking land for constructing the highway exceed
the amount available to the town for highway construction for the preceding two years,
the selectboard may apply in writing to the Board for additional money to construct
the highway. A “community service” area is one having an institution or facility
for providing legally authorized educational, social, or welfare services to the public
such as schools, hospitals, medical centers, or nursing homes. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
