At their regular meeting on May 16, the North Branford Town Council voted unanimously in favor of a resolution establishing a Town Blueprint Committee. The purpose of the committee is to evaluate previous town land use studies, develop a scope for the future land use study requested by the Town Council, and to recommend a plan for the comprehensive use of all town properties to the Town Council. The Council is hoping that interested members of the public might step up to participate in the committee.
Members of this new committee will be appointed by the Town Council and will include two members from the Council, one member from the Planning and Zoning Commission, one member from the Parks and Recreation Commission, one member of the Economic Development Commission, and two electors from the town; one each from Northford and North Branford. The Mayor, Town Manager, and Director of Public Works will serve as ex officio members.
“This committee is charged with helping formulate an overall plan relative to the use of all our town properties and buildings,” said Mayor Jeffrey Macmillen. “They will address everything from recreational field use to the concept of creating a town center, and more. The committee has an opening for one public member on each side of town, and we are hoping to see interested residents express a desire to serve on it.”
Macmillen said that those interested should submit a letter indicating their interest in serving, and an optional resume, to the Town Manager’s office for consideration by the Council. Submissions should be digital to gcox@northbranfordct.gov. Questions should be directed to (203) 484-6000.
The Council expects to make its appointments soon, as the committee is charged with reporting out its findings to the Town Council no later than March 31, 2024.
