The Master Plan was last completed in 1988 and updating the plan is a major priority for the Board of Selectmen. The town-wide Plan includes goals and policies for what stakeholders want to see happen with land use, housing, economic development, natural/cultural resources, open space, recreation and transportation, Town Manager Scott Crabtree said.
Town Meeting members approved the allocation of $150,000 to update the Plan after Mr. Crabtree drafted the article for the special Town Meeting warrant. He stressed the importance of the town pursuing smart growth in order to sustain a full-service community and balance the impact of development. The Plan includes strategies to manage future growth in development, protect environmental resources, set priorities for developing/maintaining infrastructure, create a framework for future policy decisions, and provide guidance to land owners and developers as well as permitting authorities.
The Forum follows three other public forums on the required elements as listed above and will conclude the process of updating the current Master Plan. The final document will be adopted by the Planning Board and the next step of prioritizing implementation will begin.
The Town is excited to finalize this important Town-wide planning document and the comprehensive public process that went into it and get to work on its implementation. Please join us to participate in this exciting community milestone.
