Comprehensive Plans

Statute, Rule, and Other Documents

Planning Data for Municipalities

Upon request, MPAP will compile a battery of useful information from various state agencies and provide it to your town's comprehensive planning committee. These planning resource packages, or data sets, are available two times each year. Learn more at our Planning Data webpage.

Instructions for State Agency Reviewers

The Growth Management Act requires the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to solicit comments from other state agencies on proposed comprehensive plans.

Agency review comments should include:

  • a determination as to whether or not the proposed plan uses data provided by your agency appropriately;
  • an analysis of how the proposed plan's policies and implementation strategies promote the State Goal(s) relating to your agency's principal objectives and directives;
  • an analysis of whether the proposed plan is consistent with your agency's programs and policies; and
  • a description of the measures your agency recommends the municipality take to ensure that its plan addresses any identified deficiencies and inconsistencies.

All comments on a plan must be submitted to DACF in writing (preferably electronically and on agency letterhead). Your comments will be reviewed by DACF and sent directly to the town along with our completeness review letter. Please be sure to indicate the date comments are sent and the contact person for your agency. Please see this sample agency review letter for a format that has worked well for some.
