Plan of Conservation and Development Steering Committee

What is a POCD?

The POCD – or Plan of Conservation and Development is an advisory document that guides important decisions in the Town such as the preferred density, preservation of natural and cultural resources, variety of housing choice, location and type of commercial activity, and level of municipal services. The State requires Towns to complete a POCD every 10 years.

Who can I call if I have questions on the POCD?
