We Have a Great Plan--Let's Implement!

Following an inclusive citywide effort, chaired by Newton resident and planner Philip B. Herr, Newton's current Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Board of Aldermen in November, 2007.  The Plan contains a host of great ideas to guide the development of our community in coming years. 

However, the plan is only as useful as we make it.  A Parker Administration will quickly move to integrate the principles of the Comprehensive Plan.  By January 1, 2011, A Parker Administration will submit proposed ordinance amendments to the Board of Aldermen that are designed to incorporate the principles of the Comprehensive Plan into our zoning ordinances and other local laws.  To learn more, click here.
