[Massplanners] Master Plan Update Cost

[Maureen Pollock]

Hi Kristina and fellow planners,

The Town of Montague is currently updating its Comprehensive Master Plan. The total budget is $126,000. Here is the budget breakdown by funding sources:


  *   FY2022 EEA Planning Assistance Grant funded $33,000 for visioning and scenario planning for Plan update.
  *   FY2023 MVP Action Grant Program funded $80,000 for incorporating climate resiliency into Plan update with targeted community engagement for youth, seniors, and new americans.
  *   The Town has provided a local match of $13,000.

I believe budgeting more is always better, especially for providing robust community engagement.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely

Maureen

Good Afternoon Friends and Colleagues,

A quick Friday afternoon question...for those municipalities who have completed a Master Plan Update in the past five years, what was the total cost of the effort and what funding sources did you use?  Feel free to hit that reply all button, as I am sure there are other who have  similar questions.

Thanks so much,

Kristina
