BALDWIN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Town’s Comprehensive plan was last updated in 1991. Since then there have been a number of changes to Maine statutes impacting subdivision ordinances, our land use ordinance, and shoreland zoning. In addition, the State expects municipal comprehensive plans to be reviewed/updated at least every ten years. Following is some information on the new Baldwin Comprehensive Plan initiative.
Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMP&DC) has been engaged to update the plan. Baldwin will have an AdvisoryCommittee to interface frequently with SMP&DC and assess first drafts of plan output. The Advisory Committee members are Bob Flint, Jo Pierce, Tracy Grisez, Don Sharp, and Matt Fricker as Chair. A Review Council (Gordon Wentworth, Kathy Pierce, Allan Dolloff, Norm Blake, Laurie Downey, Wes Sunderland and Paul Thomas) will periodically review and provide feedback on the SMP&DC and Advisory Committee work products, with a focus on strategic direction.
The project is planned to be completed over a two year period. There will be a community-wide survey to determine key issues for the plan to address which everyone in Town will have an opportunity to complete. Also, the Town will vote on acceptance of the final Plan results at a Town Meeting.
The initial planning meeting was Thursday, August 4th, 2022. Future meetings will be held at the Town office the 3rd Wednesday of the month (Sept. 21, Oct. 19, Nov. 16,
Dec 21, etc.) at 10:00AM. Anyone interested in the Comprehensive Planning process is welcome to attend.
