Town of Freeport - Comprehensive Plan Update

The Town of Freeport is in the early stages of starting the process to update the Town's Comprehensive Plan. 

What is a Comprehensive Plan?  The introduction of Freeport's existing Comprehensive Plan summarizes it quite nicely: 

"Developing a Comprehensive Plan is a legal obligation and an opportunity. The Plan gives a community the opportunity to look at where it has been and where it is going. Towns are obligated by the State to periodically develop (or revise) their Plans so that they meet the State’s goals as well as their own. The rules and regulations included in a local zoning ordinance must conform with the Comprehensive Plan; zoning cannot exist without a Plan. 

The Plan is both a vision and a strategy to achieve the vision. It is what the town wants to be, and wants to look like, several years down the road. It identifies what needs to change and what needs to be preserved...."

The Planning Board is in the early stages of beginning to update the current plan and NorthStar Planning will be assisting the Planning Board with this process.
