The Town of Cheshire is developing an Open Space & Recreation Plan and needs your help! Your input will help guide the planning process and determine the future of recreation and open space in the town.
The plan will make Cheshire eligible for state reimbursement grant programs for the improvement of recreation areas and protection of open spaces.
This questionnaire is open to year-round residents, seasonal residents, second homeowners, and visitors. All responses will be confidential.
This questionnaire consists of 19 questions and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey will be open from March 1st through one week after Town Meeting on June 17, 2024.
The following questions examine interests and opinions regarding the future preservation of open and recreation space in Cheshire. Open space is defined as land that has not been developed for residential, commercial, or industrial uses and includes publicly and privately owned land. Areas with particular interest in conservation and recreation include:
1. Land that contributes to the public water supply; 2. Forests, fields, and agricultural lands; 3. Wetlands; 4. Rivers, streams, and lakes; 5. Parks and other recreation lands; 6. Wildlife or animal habitats; and 7. Land that preserves scenic views or town character.
Please answer all of the following questions. Thank you!
