News release from Town of Barnstable.

HYANNIS, MA — The Town of Barnstable is currently working to update the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) which is a long-term vision and growth policy that will guide Barnstable’s future over the next ten years. Town staff, together with members of the Local Comprehensive Planning Committee, invite the public to attend one of the upcoming community meetings, to be held in each of the town’s villages, to review and discuss draft goals, policies and strategies for the chapters drafted to date: Land Use, Housing, Natural Resources, and Infrastructure and Facilities. Each meeting will include an overview of the Local Comprehensive Plan and the chapters drafted to date followed by an open house. Light refreshments will be provided. All are welcome to attend one or more of the meetings.

Draft chapters for Land Use, Housing, Natural Resources, and Facilities and Infrastructure are accessible from the Town’s Local Comprehensive Plan website BarnstableLCP.com via the Document Library page. Buttons are defined for each individual chapter. Click on the chapter button to review the draft chapter, associated maps and to submit comments. Hard copies of the chapters are also available at each of the Town’s libraries. Comments can be submitted online via the project website or dropped off or mailed to: Planning & Development, 367 Main Street, Hyannis, 02601. The public comment period is open through close of business Thursday May 16th. Comments will be distributed to the Local Comprehensive Planning Committee for review and consideration.
