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?

POCD Visioning Session
Saturday, September 9th at 9:00am

In 2013 North Stonington residents were asked to choose words that resonated with them with respect to the future of North Stonington. They chose: livability, sustainability, progress and community.

Come share your thoughts on what has changed over the past 10 years and how it has impacted the town and your community. Share your voice and be a part of the 2023 Plan of Conservation and Development.  This will be held in conjunction with a Community Conversation on the grounds of 298 Norwich Westerly Road.

9am-10:30am: POCD Visioning Session (Registration begins at 8:30)
10:30am-11am: Walk around the grounds of 298 Norwich Westerly Road
11:00am: Community Conversation Registration and Lunch
