This page contains information about the Comprehensive Plan and the 2014 update process.

What is the Comprehensive Plan?


The Comprehensive Plan is a state mandated document which helps manage the physical, social, and economic growth, development, and redevelopment of the area within its jurisdiction. The plan provides a framework for future growth and development and serves as the foundation for zoning and planning for the Town.

Why is the plan being updated now?


State law requires that a new plan be adopted every ten years and that an update be conducted every five years. In 2009, a new Comprehensive Plan was adopted, which places the five year update in 2014.

What does the plan contain?


The Comprehensive Plan contains a vision for the Town and a framework to achieve that vision. Within the plan there are nine required elements: Land Use, Housing, Transportation, Cultural Resources, Natural Resources, Economics, Population, Community Facilities, and Priority Investment. Each element contains an inventory of existing conditions and a statement of needs and goals. The plan also contains an action plan with implementation strategies and time frames for completion.
