The Town of Coventry is re-writing its comprehensive plan. This plan will translate the vision, hopes, dreams, and priorities of our community members into tangible and realistic action steps for the Town to follow. As a community-driven plan, we will be soliciting your input to ensure that the resulting strategies are in line with our community values.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
| A guide for local decision-making on important topics | A roadmap that provides direction to private development | A tool to encourage economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable community growth |
| State Required Elements | What is in these elements? | How does the Comprehensive Plan help Coventry? |

The electronic survey ran from early April through mid-June 2022, and received 70 responses. Physical copies of the survey were also available at the Town Hall.

Meeting Information
The Town and the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee will hold three public meetings over the course of the planning process to facilitate community conversations and gather input on a collective vision for the Town’s future.
The meetings will focus on 1) identifying community needs, opportunities, and overall vision; 2) developing Comprehensive Plan goals; and 3) presenting the draft implementation plan for public feedback. Dates and meeting materials for these meetings will be posted in the coming weeks and months. Once a final draft plan is prepared, the Town Council will hold a public hearing to consider adoption of the Comprehensive Plan.
