The Planning Board is responsible for the following:
Master Plan
The Master Plan is adopted and amended pursuant to RSAs 674:2-4. The purpose of the Master Plan is to aid the planning board in the performance of its duties. The comprehensive document contains multiple sections which provide a detailed plan for future growth based on sound planning principles, smart growth, housing needs, economic factors and wise resource management.
Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
The CIP is a recommended plan of municipal capital improvements projected over a period of at least six years. Its purpose is to aid the Selectmen and the Budget Committee in their consideration of the annual budget. (RSA 674:5) The planning board or CIP committee has complete control over the CIP, but statute requires the board or committee to confer with the Selectmen, Budget Committee and other local officials in the preparation of the CIP.
