<p class="MsoNormal">Do any communities update their Master Plan more regularly than every 10 -20 years? My Master Plan committee chair is wonderful – and creative. He proposed updating new chapters of the Master Plan every couple of years so it is always
“current.” I see many problems with this, mostly due to the fact that the citizen engagement for each of these regular updates wouldn’t be as robust as a Master Plan update done every decade or more. There would also be a lack of the overall “vision” that
is so important to focus on while updating your plan. <u></u><u></u></p>
