Planning for the Future of a Coastal Town
This update of the Town’s 2005 Local Comprehensive Plan (LCP) addressed key community issues including housing, economic development, land use, and environmental protection. The updated plan aligns with the 2018 Cape Cod Regional Policy Plan and the 2019 LCP Regulations. Tighe & Bond’s work began with the development of a public outreach strategy, including a community-wide survey and targeted tools to engage seasonal residents and visitors. Insights from these efforts informed the community vision, growth policy, and goals of the updated plan.
Tighe & Bond prepared summaries of existing conditions for land use, housing, economic development, natural and cultural resources, open space and recreation, and community services and facilities. A plan was also developed for capital facilities and infrastructure to support implementation of the LCP, which was adopted by the Town and confirmed by the Cape Cod Commission as consistent with the goals of the Act and Regional Policy Plan.
