This section of the Local Comprehensive Plan looks at the environment that has been created by us. It looks at our roads and bridges, public transportation needs, how we handle our solid waste as well as waste water and any other capital facilities. The section will include a discussion, as will have been reflected in the earliest section, about the historical character of the town. Finally, the section, with connections to the Economic Development Section, will discuss the town’s affordability needs. This section will address the following requirements of Chapter 41 Section 81D:
(3) Housing element which identifies and analyzes existing and forecasted housing needs and objectives including programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing. This element shall identify policies and strategies to provide a balance of local housing opportunities for all citizens.
(5) Natural and cultural resources element which provides an inventory of the significant natural, cultural and historic resource areas of the municipality, and policies and strategies for the protection and management of such areas.
(7) Services and facilities element which identifies and analyzes existing and forecasted needs for facilities and services used by the public.
(8) Circulation element which provides an inventory of existing and proposed circulation and transportation systems.
