The Master Plan is a written document that identifies and establishes our community’s goals, objectives, and recommendations in order to guide future growth, development, and/or preservation. This Master Plan acts as a “guide” or a “blueprint” for the future, summarizes the history of the community, analyzes the present and/or existing conditions, sets forth issues, objectives and actions for forthcoming changes, and outlines an implementation strategy for those actions. In short, this Master Plan tells us where we have been, where we are now, where we want to be, and how we are going to get there.
