Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD)

The 2023 Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD or “Plan”) is North Stonington’s long-range Comprehensive Plan. The POCD Steering Committee, Planning and Zoning Commission and Consulting Planner developed the Plan with input from residents, property owners, business
owners, and other town boards and commissions. As closely as is practical the POCD reflects community consensus on all aspects of future growth in
town, articulates a clear vision, and serves to guide the future development of the town. The POCD goals and objectives serve as the town’s strategic plan for the future and are in turn supported by the zoning and subdivision regulations.
