New Castle Community Survey

The New Castle Master Plan Committee, in cooperation with the New Castle Planning Board, is currently in the process of updating the Town's Master Plan and is seeking residents’ opinions and input. This survey is the first step in the update process.

Under state law (RSA 674), Planning Boards must adopt and amend master plans to guide the development of the municipality by having a set of statements and land use principles. Master plans are also required for a municipality to enact zoning regulations. The current Master Plan (last updated in 2012) is available on the Town website at: www.newcastlenh.org/master-plan-committee/pages/master-plan

This survey takes about 15 minutes, but you are encouraged to leave additional comments. All survey results will be published as part of the Master Plan update.
