Tolland Officials Launch Planning Survey

TOLLAND, CT – The Tolland Planning and Zoning Commission has launched a new survey asking residents about the future of the town.

Here is an overview:

What is on your mind when you think about development, land preservation, transportation

and other similar topics in Tolland? The Planning and Zoning Commission has launched a brief survey to
begin gauging public sentiment on Tolland growth and development.

The survey also signifies the start of the Commission’s efforts to update the town’s long-range land use
plan, called a “Plan of Conservation and Development.”

The Plan looks at growth, preservation, transportation, infrastructure, business, housing and other topics. The town’s last plan was adopted in 2009 and the state requires that plans are updated at least once every 10 years.

At this early stage, the Commission wishes to learn the public’s priorities. This is the first of many
outreach efforts that will occur over the next 18 months. Public workshops and a telephone survey are
also planned. Knowledge about the plan is not necessary to take the survey. This survey is general and
later in the process the Commission will delve deeper into issues.

The survey is can be accessed in two ways: directly here ...

or through the town’s website via the Planning & Development page (look for “2019 Plan of

Conservation & Development Update” in the left menu).

You can also find the current plan and plans dating back to 1964 online.

If you have any questions about the plan or survey, please contact the Planning and Development
Department at 860-871-3601, Monday through Thursday.
