Planning board votes to request budget funding to complete master plan

Sep 28, 2026

The board voted to submit a budget request to secure funding for completion of the town master plan (language amended to request funds for 'completion of the master plan' rather than referencing 'Phase 2'). Members emphasized the request is a contingency 'safety net' if the board chooses not to continue with MAPC or if additional consultant work is needed.

The full story

After discussing whether to continue working with MAPC or pursue other consultants, the planning board voted to request budgetary funding for the completion of the master plan. Chandelle opened the motion to request additional funding; Lisa amended the wording to request funding "for the completion of the master plan" rather than explicitly referencing "Phase 2." The amended motion carried after a second, with several members noting they supported the concept though some were "reluctant" about specifics.
