Town of Hebron Plan of
Conservation and Development . . .
What is a Plan of
Conservation and Development? This is a document required by State Statutes
that is the Town's guide of expected or desired town growth. It highlights
important issues, such as open space, development, public facilities etc. This
document is essentially a projection of the changes that are likely to occur in
Town over the next 10-year planning period.
The Town of Hebron
Planning and Zoning Commission, after working on the document for the past six
years, in January 2004, has completed and adopted a comprehensive update of the
Town's Plan of Conservation and Development. The Plan consists of an
Introduction and four sections. The sections are titled "Community
Profile", "Preservation of Unique Assets", "Community Identity
and Diversity", and "Municipal Infrastructure".
The entire
Plan is available on the web for public viewing. The "Community Profile" gives
a glimpse at current land use and population. This section presents projections
of Hebron's total population capacity by integrating past trends with new
policies. The second section, "Preservation of Unique Assets" deals with open
space, and natural resource protection issues. This section offers goals and
objectives geared at the preservation of Hebron's unique small town character.
"Community Identity and Diversity" gives a description of each Business
District, and suggests guidelines for future development of these areas plus a
preview of plans for the development of the new Village Green District. It also
looks at the issue of promoting a variety of housing choices in Town. The final
section "Municipal Infrastructure" is a look at all town owned buildings and
facilities and provides some policies as to what facilities may need to be
improved, expanded or replaced in order to best serve Hebron's residents.
The Commission is always interested in
comments from Town residents concerning the Town's Plan. We believe that public
input produces a better document. And this Plan is a living document that can
be amended over time to best reflect the current thinking and planning for
Hebron's future. Comments can be provided through the Hebron Town Planner at
