The Boothbay Comprehensive Plan Committee has been working to update the town’s Comprehensive Plan since spring 2012. The town’s current Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1989 following a period of somewhat rapid development and change in the community. The passage of time and changes in the town and the Boothbay region have made much of the Plan out-of-date and a less than useful guide in managing the future of Boothbay.

The town has prepared an update of the Comprehensive Plan to serve as a guide for the decisions the town must make about growth, development, redevelopment, and change over the coming decade. The 2015 Plan is a complete review of the policy issues facing our community and addresses emerging issues as well as providing a fresh look at ongoing issues.

The Boothbay Comprehensive Plan draft can be found on the town’s website www.townofboothbay.org or a copy can be viewed at the Town Office. The Comprehensive Plan Committee would appreciate feedback on the draft at the public hearing on Monday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Boothbay Town Office.
