Killingly Plan of Conservation and Development Survey

To the Residents of Killingly:

The Planning and Zoning Commission is undertaking review and revision of the Town Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) as is required by state statute every ten years.  This survey provides the Commission with information on what town residents feel about the nature of the town and the direction it should take.  The results of the survey will be used by the Planning and Zoning Commission in the review and revision of the POCD.  The POCD is important because it forms the basis for the Commission's future planning and implementation of new zoning regulations as well as planning for the future of the town.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

It is not necessary to sign your name and your answers will remain anonymous.
