The scheme was made possible by the willingness of local landowners to work with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to naturalise flooding on their land according to a report on the project a year later. Local flood and erosion risks had already been reduced by the floodplain reconnection it added while observable sediment deposit was now taking place a crucial factor in preventing soil erosion. The state has also been purchasing floodprone properties as part of a programme to get homeowners to higher ground after the Federal Emergency Management Agency provided Vermont m .m for voluntary buyouts. To date homes have been bought and demolished. However residents report mixed feelings on the Mobile App Development Service scheme with some concerned about where costs of moving are not covered especially for people living in mobile homes. Others are worried about falling house prices following buyouts unfair valuations on their homes and the loss of communities. Buyouts are lengthy processes which can make them less accessible less equitable to lowincome households and less effective. Despite these concerns theres still a waiting list across the US for buyouts. Montpelier was among several cities in Vermont hit by flooding in July .
