In the Fall of 2007, South Hadley began work on its first Comprehensive Plan in 30 years. The consulting firm of VHB, Inc. was hired to assist the community in this effort using funds appropriated by Town Meeting. With input from the firm, the Planning Board appointed the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC) in November/December 2007 and charged this committee to draft the plan with the professional assistance of VHB, Inc. and the Town Planner.
Over the ensuing 24 months, the 16 members of this committee held many meetings with local/regional officials, local businesses, and residents. Their work has come to fruition with the formulation of this recommended Comprehensive Plan. They will submit the plan to the Planning Board on Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Subsequently, the Planning Board will review the plan, hold public meetings and consider revisions to the plan prior to adopting the document as the Town's official Master Plan. The Planning Board also intends to seek Town Meeting endorsement of the adopted plan.
This page provides information about the plan, its development, and means by which the community can have input into the document and monitor progress towards it implementation. Please note that although the most current draft of the recommended plan is to be posted on this page; while this page is being developed, a link is maintained to the VHB-maintained website for access to various background materials.
