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 The passage of time and changes in the town and the Boothbay region have made much of the plan out-of-date, and a less than useful guide in managing the future of Boothbay.

Therefore, 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 comprehensive plan draft can be found on the town’s website, www.townofboothbay.org, under Quick Links. The Comprehensive Plan Committee will be holding workshops and informational meetings over the next month to review the draft and receive feedback from the community.
