SWANSEA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
We are beginning to update the Comprehensive Plan (aka the Master Plan), which was last updated in 2003. The Plan serves as a roadmap for the next 10 years for topics such as Economic Development, Transportation, Housing, Land Use, Natural and Cultural Resources, Open Space, Town Facilities and Sustainability. Goals will be set within this document as well as implementation items related to those goals. Please click here for more information about the Plan.
We are having a public workshop on Wednesday, September 28th from 6:30-8:30pm at the Case High School Library that will focus on Transportation, Facilities and Services, and Open Space. Come and provide input on these areas and help shape the Town's future! Click here for the flyer.
