Plan of Conservation and Development Update
The Town of Woodbury has begun the process of updating the Town Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). The POCD is a guidance document that sets policy priorities for the physical, environmental, economic and social future of the Town. POCDs contain goals and visions along with recommended actions that assist in achieving these goals. The planning process involves assessing current conditions and trends in order to develop reasonable goals and strategies and engaging the community in a dialogue on its future.
As part of the process the Town is issuing an initial online survey to solicit public input. The survey is intended to gather information from residents that will assist in the development of the POCD update. Please note that this is an initial survey and additional public input will be solicited as the update process progresses. Your input is essential to this process and we thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
