Town of Bolton Bolton, MA

Bolton Master Plan Creation

BSC has guided the Town of Bolton and worked in partnership with the Master Plan Steering Committee to update the Town’s Master Plan. The updated Master Plan included elements required by M.G.L.c.41, §81D and ensured consistency with regional planning efforts. A robust public engagement process including an interactive mapping exercise, charette, and online survey helped to inform goals that aligned with resident priorities, concerns, and vision for the future.

Major themes of the Master Plan Update include:

• Managing infrastructure needs as growth occurs
• Preserving community and agricultural character by balancing potential development with the protection of open space
• Creating sustainable and affordable housing solutions
• Enhancing connectivity relative to traffic and mobility
• Planning for a resilient future
