Comprehensive Plan Survey Results
The Town of Scarborough is updating its 2006 Comprehensive Plan. The Update is intended to guide the Town’s decisions about how the Scarborough community should and should not grow and develop and what is important in that process of change.
We invited residents and business representatives to fill out the Comprehensive Plan Survey. The survey questions were developed based on input from a series of public meetings during the Summer of 2017 and a week long planning workshop, known as the Planapalooza™ in September 2017. You can find the results of the survey by clicking on this link.
