Comprehensive Plan Update
Town of York
York, ME
The Town of York, Maine with a budget of $200,000, seeks the services of a qualified planning consultant to work with and assist the Planning Board in preparing an update to the existing Comprehensive Plan. The current Plan, although amended yearly, was adopted as a whole in 1999, and is currently not consistent with MSRA Title 30-A and Chapter 208 of the State of Maine's Comprehensive Plan Revision Criteria Rule. This update of the 1999 Comprehensive Plan would address new and future planning issues and result in a Plan consistent with the Growth Management Act of the State of Maine. The Plan will guide future growth, redevelopment, zoning changes, capital investments as well as many other land use and regional goals.
The Comprehensive Plan is the foundation for determining effective public policy, master planning, and land use decisions now and in the future. It provides an ongoing framework for informed and directed development and decision making. The Plan shall include goals, objectives, and strategies utilizing maps, graphs, and other imagery tools to analyze, assess, and recommend best practices for values-based planning, economic development, environmental protection, housing, infrastructure, and other improvements. The overall objective of the Plan is to reflect and respond to priorities, values, and requirements of York's residents while safeguarding the Town's history and sense of place.
