Town of Brownfield, MAINE
The Comprehensive Plan Committee needs your feedback!
Please take a few moments to complete the survey below before April 30th:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/X89LGZW
The State of Maine requires that towns have an updated Comprehensive Plan every 10 years. The last plan that the state has on file for Brownfield was completed in 1991. Having a Comprehensive Plan puts the town in a better position when applying for grants, and is critical to determine zoning regulations that the town's voters may want to implement.
A Comprehensive Plan is essentially an inventory of the town’s assets and deficits and sets goals and strategies to use as guidelines in future planning. However, the goals and strategies do not obligate the town to spend money to make these a reality.
The Brownfield Comprehensive Planning Committee sincerely appreciates your completion of this survey.
Your input is of great value!
Just a reminder:
** A sticker is required on your vehicle to use the transfer station**
As of July 1, the Transfer Station will no longer be accepting food scraps to go to AgriCycle.
Please place food scraps in household trash.
We are working on finding alternatives for food scraps/composting.
