Updated: Plans of Conservation and Devolvement Public Meeting Cancelled

Updated 1:30 p.m: The public meeting on the 2014 Plan of Conservation and Development has been cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date.

11:30 a.m: The 2014 Plan of Conservation and Development Subcommittee is seeking public input on plans to update Stonington’s Plan of Conservation and Development.

On Oct. 29, 2012 a public meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at Stonington High School. At the meeting a questionnaire that will also be available online will be handed out to allow residents to provide additional input on issues such as what does the town want to protect, how does the town want to grow and what services does the town want to provide.

The Plan of Conservation and Development is required under a state law, which describes the plan as a “blueprint for the future development” of Stonington. The current Plan of Conservation Development was adopted by the PZC in June of 2004 and took 18 months to complete. It includes chapters and sections on community issues, resource protection, villages’ protection and enhancements, a how-to on guiding appropriate development and desired growth and future land use.

Written comments are welcome at any time and may be sent to the 2014 POCD Subcommittee care of the Stonington Department of Planning, 152 Elm Street, Stonington, CT 06378.
