   Goals and Objectives

 

 

    As stated in Section 6, the three over-arching goals of this Plan are to:

 

 

  1. Preserve the Town’s charm, rural character, and sense of community
  2. Protect and manage key natural resource areas
  3. Provide recreational activities for all townspeople

 

 

 

The OSC’s three goals and associated objectives are shown in Table 8-1.  The goals and objectives were developed through a review of the Open Space and Recreation Survey results, during public meeting comment and discussion sessions, and during a series of OSC brainstorming sessions.
