Questions for thought:

1. How successful were the first agricultural settlers in Vermont?

2. How does public policy help to mandate sprawl?

3. Would conservation development policies allowing higher density developments benefit developers financially as well as helping to halt sprawl?

4. Could you build a New England Village of yesteryear in Vermont in 2004? Why or Why not?
