Not built, under construction or proposed. We have this thing called Act 250, enacted back in the 70's, which makes doing things like that extremely time consuming and uber expensive. Unfortunately, it also makes housing construction pricier than it should be in a place that's desperate for additional housing. And limits business development. At least there are some upsides. This is one of them.
