We Need Your Feedback on the 2020 Town Plan Draft!

On November 6, the Planning Commission updated the draft of the new 2020 Plainfield Town Plan. This official document outlines our community's: 

• Character, 
• Natural Environment, 
• Climate, Resilience and Hazard Mitigation,
• Housing,
• Energy,
• Transportation,
• Facilities, Utilities, Services, and Resources,
• Economic Development, and
• Land Use. 

The November update contains the comments from the public hearing the Planning Commission held on October 8. You can watch that hearing below. 

The draft was sent to the Select Board for their review on November 16, 2020.

The Select Board Hearing on the 2020 Town Plan commenced on February 22nd.   In order to receive additional citizen input, further hearing on the Town Plan will happen on March 8 , 2021 at 6 PM.  All are welcome.  Details about how to attend this hearing are in the 2020 Town Plan Hearing agenda for March 8, 2021. 

​Once this draft plan is adopted by the Select Board it will replace the previous Town Plan adopted in 2014 which has expired as Town Plans are limited to a span of five years unless readopted or replaced.
