Voters at a special town meeting Tuesday adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan, 54-13. Amendments to the sign ordinance were also approved by a vote of 62-5.

The previous Comprehensive Plan was adopted Sept. 13, 2012, and the Comprehensive Review Committee began the process of updating the plan in August 2023. The board began reviewing segments of the proposed plan in January.

The major points addressed in the updated plan include housing, and land use and density changes in some areas. Other key points include the need for more health care services and maintaining the region’s clean lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.

The amendments to the sign ordinance include addressing external illumination of signs, and limiting the total square feet of signs allowed on a single lot occupied by multiple businesses.
