Planning Board Master Plan

The Framingham Planning Board is leading the initiative for the new Master Plan pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 41 Section 81D. The Town has hired the consulting firm of Taintor & Associates to prepare the Plan. The team also includes Community Circle, who are providing professional public outreach services. The Master Plan will include sections relating to Land Use, Housing, Economic Development, Natural and Cultural Resources, Open Space and Recreation, Municipal Services and Facilities and Transportation. Public meetings will be held throughout the process to solicit input on the Plan.
