NORFOLK — Town Administrator Justin Casanova-Davis and Town Planner Richard McCarthy Jr. invite the community to submit their feedback on the draft vision and goals of the Town of Norfolk’s 2035 Master Plan.
Based on community feedback and data analysis collected through the town’s Master Plan survey and workshops, the Town and Metropolitan Area Planning Council established working draft vision and goals for each of the master plan’s topics and are asking for community feedback. To access the vision and goals on the online platform, click here.
Via an online platform, community members will be able to review each goal associated with each topic of the 2035 Master Plan and provide feedback. Feedback includes discussion, likes and dislikes.
Topics that will be featured in the 2035 Master Plan include Community Facilities and Services; Community Health; Economic Development; Historical and Cultural Resources; Housing; Land Use; Open Space, Recreation, and Sustainability, and Transportation.
Additionally, community members can also submit any ideas they may have that they’d like to share to further help draft the goals.
Hard copies of the draft vision and goals can be picked up at Town Hall’s Land Use Department, 1 Liberty Lane; the Norfolk Public Library, 2 Liberty Lane; and the Post Office, 208 Main St. All hard copies should be returned to the Town Hall by Thursday, Dec. 7.
“On behalf of the Town, I would like to thank all community members who participated in our workshops and shared their thoughts through our survey,” Town Planner McCarthy Jr. said. “With their invaluable feedback, we have identified several goals of the 2035 Master Plan and are now asking for any additional input. We hope that, through this multi-level feedback structure, we will have goals that are reflective of the wishes of our entire community.”
About Norfolk’s 2035 Master Plan
The Town of Norfolk began setting the foundation for its Master Plan, which is a roadmap for the town’s future planning and development decisions, late last year. The Master Plan will provide the basis for decision-making in Norfolk for the next 10 years. The last Master Plan for the Town of Norfolk was implemented in 2007.
The Town is working with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) on the project, which is guided by a Steering Committee comprised of Norfolk Planning Board members, a Select Board member-at-large and residents. The Steering Committee members are: Chad Peck, Chris Montfort, Eric Diamond, John Weddleton, Gary Sullivan, Melissa Meo, Kevin Kalkut, Erin Hunt, Dan Feyock, Joe Burke, Jen Pittore, Charles Iacono and Pat Day.
The Master Plan will be completed in two phases. Phase one is projected to be completed this summer, while phase two will be completed in early 2024.
