What’s in the Plan?

The Plan contains information on how the Town has developed over the past decades and how it is expected to grow in the future. It contains goals and policies regarding the natural resources in our town, such as wetlands, watercourses, aquifers, soils, farmland and open spaces, and identifies ways to protect them.  The Plan also contains goals and policies for the business areas of the town and provides guidance for how we want the business district to develop. The Plan contains guidance for items such as housing policies, town facilities and other important issues.  These goals and policies are the basis for many of the Town’s land use regulations. The Plan also contains a number of maps showing planned open space, natural features, historic sites, the business districts and land use.
