The Comprehensive Plan is here!
The team is pleased to share that the final 2024 Yarmouth Comprehensive Plan is complete and will be presented to the Town Council for adoption!
Over the last 18 months, Yarmouth staff, the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, and North Star Planning have worked to bring forward an updated comprehensive plan. The final document is the result of significant public engagement, not just the formal public hearings and meetings, but also a series of informal Com-PLAN-ion events, as well as thoughtful public comment from the community and the Town Boards and Committees.
The Maine Municipal Planning Assistance Program of the Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry has ruled that the 2024 Yarmouth Comprehensive Plan is complete and consistent with the state’s Growth Management Act. The state has determined that the consistency finding is valid through May 15, 2036.
Read the Plan
The front section of the plan is the forward-looking part of the document that outlines the community’s vision, goals, and action items for the future. The inventory chapters are collections of data on a variety of topics that helped form the basis of the plan. The appendices are a record of the public participation and input from the planning process, as well as the feedback Yarmouth recieved from the Maine Municipal Planning Assistance Program.
