Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
The purpose of a comprehensive plan is to provide a community with the opportunity to reflect on its past strengths and areas for improvement while also creating actionable steps to address current priorities. The process should preserve sense of place, history, and natural resources. The new plan will ultimately become a guide for future growth and development, covering subjects such as, but not limited to, land use, zoning, capacity and expansion of utilities, economic development, transportation, housing, recreation, capital budgeting, provision for municipal services and facilities, and regional coordination. The plan will also formulate a direction for effective public policy, master planning, and land use decisions for the future. The planning process will highlight strong community engagement that involves residents and stakeholders in crafting a plan that truly mirrors the needs and values of the city today as it prepares for the opportunities of tomorrow.
When does the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee meet?
5:30PM on the 4th Monday of every month at the Ellsworth City Hall Council Chambers.
How can the public participate?
At every Steering Committee meeting, there will be designated time for the public to provide input. In addition, when sub-committees are formed these meetings will be driven entirely by public comment and discussion. Finally, there will be multiple other opportunities for public engagement once a consultant is hired such as surveys, focus groups, etc.
Can I attend meetings remotely?
