How does the plan guide development decisions and control growth?

Growth is market-driven. We can't control when there will be market interest to create new businesses and housing developments in our community. What we can influence is how that growth happens when the market is ripe. Every residential and commercial development must be approved through the Town's planning process. As expert Town planners and engineers work with interested developers, they compare proposed plans with the Town's Comprehensive Master Plan. Visit the Development Steps webpage to learn more about the process.
