The Andover Planning Board is moving forward with a comprehensive update to the town’s Master Plan, a decision that will have long-term implications for every resident.
During the March 24 meeting, the Board discussed the methodology for the update, noting that the current plan lacks necessary detail regarding modern housing needs and enforcement procedures. This process will be funded by a $20,000 Master Plan Expendable Trust Fund established via a town warrant article.
Because the Master Plan dictates town maps, zoning, and how local regulations are enforced, these changes directly affect property rights and the future development of our community. The Board has agreed to use upcoming work sessions to drive this planning process forward.
Residents should stay engaged and attend future work sessions to ensure the new plan reflects the actual needs and values of the Andover community.
