The Hopedale Master Plan Steering Committee has announced the town’s master plan has been fully adopted by the town’s Planning Board, making the plan official and final. 

“We thank the members of the Planning Board for their diligent efforts in reviewing the plan and adopting it as the foundation for future planning and development in Hopedale,” the committee said in a press release in June.

 The Master Plan website - https://arcg.is/0OP008 - is a summary of the plan that highlights the goals for each chapter and includes interactive maps for your reference when reviewing information about Population & Housing, Land Use, Economic Development, Open Space, Recreation & Natural Resources, Historic Resources, Transportation, and Town Services & Facilities.

 The plan is more than 400 pages and can be found at bit.ly/HopedaleMasterPlan2022. It goes into great detail about each of the chapter subjects, expands on the goals to include recommendations and action items as well as an implementation matrix, displays the results of our town survey, and includes several maps. 

Printed copies of the plan will be available at the Town Hall and library in July. 

 A Master Plan Implementation Committee will be created in the near future. This group will work with all town departments and committees to ensure the goals listed in the plan are met to the best of their abilities.
