What is a Master Plan?

A Master Plan is a comprehensive community plan that explores important topics such as land use, natural resources, economic development, housing, transportation, and other themes.

Through the planning process, a town assesses its current challenges and opportunities, and collects input from the community.

Once written, a Master Plan lays out a vision and strategies for the community to achieve its goals over the next 10 - 20 years.
