The goals of the Master Plan:

• Strengthen the community by creating and beautifying public spaces, celebrating the town’s history, and attracting new businesses and services

• Energize the local economy by creating attractive investment opportunities

• Address unsafe conditions related to traffic, infrastructure, and mixed land uses

• Guide community investment

• Manage land uses to ensure compatibility and prosperity

• Avoid sprawl by articulating development priorities

Overview of the site plan: 

1. The sand/salt shed and Public Works facility are relocated.  They are replaced by a row of mixed-use buildings to form the core of the Upper Village

2. A small green separates the mixed-use block from traffic on Route 100

3. A new configuration for Link’s Variety provides better definition between business activities and roadways

4. New buildings in the “Village Green” separate Route 100-based business activity from the village

5. Additional development opportunities have been created north of the sand/salt building

6. Community septic systems have been planned to facilitate higher-density development

7. A stormwater management area behind the village center will manage runoff caused by impervious surface areas throughout the village

8. A new residential area is proposed south of Route 100 near the soon to be developed Veteran’s Monument

9. Wide sidewalks in the village center will accommodate outdoor patios, attractive street furniture, and places for gathering
