As we updated our current 1994 Comp. Plan some of our thoughts were: What are Bridgeton’s challenges since last Twp Comp. Plan of 1994? Should the Comp Plan Map/pg. 31 be changed?
How/in what way? -Ref. the CP Map…
What are Bridgeton Townships land use goals? -Ref. the CP Map…
What is our vision?
“What do we want to be?” -Decide what we DON’T want in the plan. What maps should be included and available as digital, GIS and paper
