Community Adjustment Plan

The Community Adjustment Plan approved in 2008, flows from the Community-Based Strategic Plan. The plan focuses on how the Town and its partners (private, non-profit, other public sector agencies) can work together to enhance employment and investment opportunities that will benefit the entire community. The plan is based on the premise that the community can develop a local vision and goals of what it wants to become, determine the sectors in which it has the best chance of being successful, and apply resources to achieve them. For information on the Community Adjustment Plan contact the Manager of Economic Development.
