The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC), in its statutory planning capacity, has developed an update to the State-mandated ten-year Town Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). The 2024 POCD inventories and assesses the status of: affordable housing, villages, comprehensive planning and governance, infrastructure, agriculture, and natural resources. Based on the inventories and assessments the POCD proposes strategies for moving forward into the next decade for each of these components. These are considerations, concepts, and recommendations that the PZC deems worthy of inclusion in their POCD. Through the POCD, the PZC provides an advisory framework to address long-term community needs consistent with the Growth Management Principles of the State of Connecticut’s Conservation & Development Plan.
