Master Plan
Background
The Town’s last Master Plan was completed in 1998. Since 1998, the Town has experienced growth in almost all sectors, including residential, commercial, institutional and non-profits, and it has become clear through a consensus of residents and elected officials that a new Master Plan is the necessary next step in providing a framework for land use and development vision for the Town’s future.
Mayor Kokoros pledged efforts for a new Master Plan and, on February 18, 2020, Mayor Kokoros requested that the Town Council appropriate funds in the amount of $200,000.00 to fund the creation of a Master Plan for the Town of Braintree. This request was approved by the Council on April 28, 2020.
In 2022, the Town of Braintree partnered with JM Goldson (Jennifer Goldson) to embark on this endeavor. The Master Plan Process was headed by the Department of Planning and Community Development with support and guidance from the Master Plan Steering Committee. The process started in early 2022 and was completed with Planning Board adoption of the Plan in December of 2023.
