Plaistow Economic Development Survey

Survey Introduction:

The Plaistow Planning Board is currently in the process of updating the Town's Master Plan’s economic development goals and is seeking residents’ opinions and input.

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 2020) is available on the Town website at: https://www.plaistow.com/sites/g/files/vyhlif1071/f/uploads/final_plaistow_master_plan_2020.pdf

This survey takes about 10 minutes, but you are encouraged to leave additional comments. All survey results will be published as part of the Master Plan update.
