The Easton Planning and Zoning Commission, working with Town staff and elected officials, has begun revising the Town’s Comprehensive Plan. The Plan, which expresses the community’s visions and goals for the next ten years, is an essential tool for the Town to guide future land development to ensure a safe, pleasant, and economic environment for residential, commercial, industrial, and public activities.
During the process of completing this document, the Town relies on the input of the public with various interests in the future of our community (e.g., residents, business owners, people who work in Easton, etc.). Two surveys are currently available in both English and Spanish versions, and the public is encouraged to visit the Town’s webpage at https://www.eastonmd.gov/564/2023-Comprehensive-Plan-Update.
Once the draft document is produced, additional opportunities for public input will include neighborhood meetings for each of the Town’s four election wards, a Townhall style meeting, and the traditional public hearing.
The first neighborhood meeting is being planned for Ward 3, which includes the Easton Club, Cooke’s Hope, Londonderry, Stoney Ridge, and Easton Club East. This meeting will be held at the Easton Club East Community Building on April 25 at 5:30 pm. The meeting is free to attend, but space is limited, and registration is first-come, first-served. Any residents of Ward 3 interested in attending this meeting should visit the Town’s Comprehensive Plan Update webpage to register. More details about this meeting and those for the Town’s other three wards will be posted on the town website as it becomes available.
This meeting will also be broadcast in real-time via Zoom, and the dial-in information will be posted on the Town’s website as soon as it is available. Further, a Zoom recording of this April 25th session will be posted on the Easton Town website (https://eastonmd.gov/) shortly after the event.
