Implementation

This is where it is all pulled together.  In the implementation section of the Local Comprehensive Plan we try to identify the strategies and responsible parties for aiding the town in achieving the goals laid out in the initial section and each of the following more detailed discussion.  For instance, if in the Open Space section we identify a need to provide a bicycle path along Route 6, in this section we identify who will be the responsible lead agency at the local level.  Obviously such a recommendation as the one suggested would require state action.  Other less theoretical actions, such as improved sidewalk facilities in each village center (benches, sidewalks, trash barrels) would require assignment of these actions to particular town entities.  This section achieves the requirements of the following section of Chapter 41 Section 81D:

(9) Implementation program element which defines and schedules the specific municipal actions necessary to achieve the objectives of each element of the master or study plan. Scheduled expansion or replacement of public facilities or circulation system components and the anticipated costs and revenues associated with accomplishment of such activities shall be detailed in this element. This element shall specify the process by which the municipality’s regulatory structures shall be amended so as to be consistent with the master plan.
