Millionaire Abandons Plan For Futuristic Low-Carbon-Footprint Cluster Community in Vermont

David Hall of Utah bought hundreds of acres in four towns in east central Vermont in hopes to building a high-tech "sustainable" community with a low carbon footprint.

But residents of the towns didn't thin much of the plan, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation "put the four towns affected by his plan on 'watch status,' meaning their historic nature is being threatened," according to Seven Days.
