Plan of Conservation and Development Update

From the office of Middletown City Planner, Bill Warner:

Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) Update

I am happy to report the Middletown Planning and Zoning Commission approved the Prologue Section and Chapters 1 through 5 of the POCD 2008 update.

I am also happy to report that we have secured a $20,000 grant from the State of Connecticut Office of Responsible Growth. This grant will be used to create the final and most important component of the POCD, the Future Land Use Map. The map will be a graphic representation of the recommendations in the plan and how the city intends to follow the Planning Principals found in Chapter 11 of the 2008 POCD update. We will also use the money to enhance other graphics and create a user-friendly web based version of the POCD.

Due to summer vacations and requests for more time to review various sections of the POCD update we have backed off of the original schedule. Attached is a revised public hearing schedule.
