The statement is a subjective claim about progress toward housing targets rather than a directly verifiable factual assertion. Without access to the specific housing targets, current production data, and the timeframe referenced, it cannot be definitively confirmed or refuted as a concrete fact.

Vermont's annual housing production has been well below half of the state's stated target of roughly 5,000 units per year, with recent years showing only about 1,200-1,500 units permitted, which is closer to one-quarter to one-third of the goal.
