The 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update is adopted by Windham Town Council by Lorraine Glowczak

On Tuesday, June 13, the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update was presented before the Town Council for public hearing and vote.

There was a brief review by Planning Director, Ben Smith that included the “Four Big Things” that have been determined as a focus for Windham, based upon the state and local goals.

An individual from the Comprehensive Plan Review Team, Sparky Hurgin, approached the Council to both thank them for their assistance and to ask them to consider adopting the plan.

Many Council Members shared their appreciation of both Smith and the review team for the
dedication and work they put into helping Windham progress in a way that is a benefit to all.

After discussion and comments, all members of the Town Council approved the plan.

Smith stated that the next steps are for the Council and staff to start implementing the priority recommendations. One of those recommendations will be to create a Long Range Planning Committee, tasked with implementing specific items, coordinating other planning efforts with the Comprehensive Plan and measuring and reporting on overall progress of implementation efforts.
