The Town of Dudley is updating its Master Plan. This plan will lay out a vision for Dudley’s future over the next ten years and provide a roadmap for achieving community goals. There are many opportunities to get involved, including open monthly meetings, a community survey, and a workshop.
What is a Master Plan?
A Master Plan is a comprehensive community plan that explores important topics such as land use, natural resources, economic development, housing, transportation, and other themes.
Through the planning process, Dudley will assess its challenges and opportunities by collecting research and input from the community. Once written, the Master Plan will lay out a vision for Dudley’s future and strategies to achieve it. Master Plans require periodic updates. Issues, challenges, and resident preferences can change a lot in 10-20 years, which is the typical horizon of a Master Plan. The 2000 Dudley Master Plan was the last updated comprehensive plan for the Town.
