Comp Plan chapter, recommendations focus on public services and facilities

Recommendations for improving public facilities and services in Winthrop have been posted at winthropmaine.org/comprehensiveplan, as has a draft of a chapter from the Town's Comprehensive Plan update focused on those facilities and services. Both documents are also attached below.

The policies and strategies documents contain recommended actions the Town could or should take in each topic area of the Comprehensive Plan. The chapters contain background and data used to arrive at the recommendations. 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. 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).
