Those who complete the 10-minute survey will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win one of ten gift cards to participating local businesses, each valued at $25. The survey is forward-looking, and asks stakeholders who live, work, play, or study in Mansfield to evaluate the Town’s best qualities and what should be considered in the coming 10 years.

In October 2024 the Planning and Development Department began coordinating activities to update the town's 2015 POCD, which is required by the State every 10 years. Over the past few months, volunteers who serve on Mansfield’s more than 40 boards and committees have been reviewing the the town’s 2015 plan and evaluating the progress made by identifying the actions that are in progress, completed, and ongoing.

"This survey is a great way to gain input from a large number of people who have experiences with our community,” Mansfield Director of Planning and Development Jennifer Kaufman, said. "While it is not the only method we will use to gain feedback and new ideas, the survey provides that 100-foot view of what's important to many people. As a hub for our region, Mansfield offers services to many different kinds of people and we want to hear from all of them."

The Mansfield Tomorrow plan update is on track to be completed by Fall 2025.
