Kingfield Comprehensive Plan Survey

A comprehensive plan is a long-range planning document, consisting of text and maps, that identifies the goals and desires of a community over the next 20+ years. It seeks to articulate and commit to a clear vision for the town in the period of the plan, provide a context for private and public development decisions, and identify the need for new or amended land use ordinances and regulations.

The Comprehensive Plan Committee is conducting a public survey to gain perspective from citizens in the formation of the comprehensive plan. Please answer as many questions as you would like. The Committee thanks you for your input.
