The Master Plan Vision Committee is newly established. The Town is planning to fill 12 seats with residents who are interested in planning activities for a healthy, vibrant community.
The Council Charge to the committee is as follows:
The over arching and continuing charge will be to monitor private and government activities that may create trends to be addressed and incorporated in the Town’s Comprehensive Plan or activity trends that may run counter to “Comp Plan” guidance.
The second part of the charge tasks the committee to assist the Council and the staff in researching and resolving important, complex but specifically limited items or issues. This assistance will be particularly critical when the item or issue is time sensitive.
Thus, the Committee’s first challenge is to determine the highest and best us of the Town’s Young Street Property, to research what American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, also known as “stimulus”) money and/or other non-tax funding is available for the uses suggested; to recommend which uses of the property are the most feasible and promising and to devise a plan for how the Town can move forward in an expeditious but careful manner given the economic climate.
If you are interested in volunteering your time on this committee, please fill out an application (see link above) and return it to the Town Manager's office or the Town Clerk's office. Or email to: jbschempf@sbmaine.us or bbennett@sbmaine.us
