COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Last Updated:  January 8, 2007

The Brunswick Comprehensive Plan Update Committee has been working from March 2004 to July 2006 to prepare an update to the 1993 Comprehensive Plan.  On October 3, 2006, the Planning Board voted 6-1 to recommend adoption of the plan with some minor amendments.  On November 20, 2006, the State Planning Office found the plan consistent with the Maine Planning and Land Use Regulation Act and Comprehensive Planning Criteria Rule.  This website provides access to key documents used in this work.
