This Comprehensive Plan Update provides a new vision for how to guide growth, how to support the elements that make the Town strong today, and how to make it stronger and more sustainable in the future. The Plan is branded Bethlehem Forward in an effort to engage the public and advance a thoughtful conversation to define a future for the community in 2035. The adoption is the culmination of four years of collaborative work between community members, and business and municipal leaders. The process kicked off in 2018 and was guided by an incredible volunteer advisory committee who represented all seven hamlets and brought a wide range of technical expertise to the Bethlehem Forward effort. The Plan was informed by 28 committee meetings and 5 public information meetings/workshops, pop-up information-sharing opportunities at community events, and civic participation via social media.
