Strategies for transportation, historical resources in Winthrop posted for public input

Policies and strategies regarding transportation and historical resources in Winthrop have been posted at https://www.winthropmaine.org/comprehensiveplan. They are also attached below. These recommendations come from the update of the Town's Comprehensive Plan and include actions the Town could or should take in each topic area in realizing the plan. 

They are not, however, in a final draft form. We would appreciate the public's input and feedback. Please send comments to manager@winthropmaine.org.

As each chapter and table of recommendations from the plan is ready to be shared with the public, it will be posted at winthropmaine.org/comprehensiveplan. The chapters contain background and data used to arrive at the recommendations. Voters will consider approving the plan in November.

The Comprehensive Plan was adopted by voters in 2010. Like that document, the update will serve as a roadmap of how citizens would like to see Winthrop develop in areas such as housing, economic development, future land use, preservation of natural resources, recreation, and transportation by providing recommendations on how to achieve goals in each of those areas. Goals will be accompanied by policies and strategies, and notations of the responsible parties for pursuing those recommendations. 

This effort is being completed in conjunction with the Kennebec Valley Council of Governments (KVCOG).
