The Comprehensive Plan, created in 2000, is a visionary document that helps guide decisions in areas such as land use, economic development and transportation. It is not a law or regulation but a guidepost for our future. We are currently undertaking a rewrite of the document to reflect the town’s plans for Westwood’s future.  The update effort commenced in 2018 and will continue through early 2020.

• Public Presentations of initial goals commenced on Tuesday, October 22 at 7:00 pm at the Planning Board meeting.  Two subject areas at a time will continue to present on November 5, November 19, December 10 and into January.  A full schedule is here.  Presentations are open to the public and will be open for input and discussion.
