Comprehensive Plan Committee
A Comprehensive Plan is a document which serves the community by giving residents a voice in the long-range community planning process. It enables the Town to apply for county, state, and federal funding to achieve objectives as set by community priorities.
Over the years, the Comprehensive Plan has been contributed to by the Town Board, Planning Board, and Enfield residents who came together in a community effort to define the needs and desires of the Town.
The Town of Enfield Comprehensive Plan, released in 2019, defines the Town’s priorities up until 2050.
