Policies & Plans

Municipal policies are the rules and guidelines established by local government to govern various aspects of community life.  These policies cover a wide range of areas including land use, public safety, health regulations, and environmental protection.  A municipal master plan outlines the long-range vision for the future development of a community and provides a view of how the community is expected to grow and develop over time.  The master plan serves as a foundation for local zoning and land ordinances that govern development.
