Senators debate interim fix to Act 181 that would remove 10‑acre parcel cap for some Tier 1B projects Senator Chris Matos proposed an interim amendment to Act 181 that would strip a 10‑acre parcel-size limit for Tier 1B projects to allow denser, infill-style housing on parcels with appropriate soils and infrastructure; committee members debated disturbance metrics, infrastructure costs, and whether to adopt an interim exemption and revisit the policy.
