The core of Freeport’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan outlines a vision for the town’s future, grounded in community values and priorities. It includes the Vision Statement, which captures the long-term aspirations of residents, and the Future Land Use Map and Narrative, which provide guidance for where and how growth should occur over the next decade. The plan also presents a comprehensive set of Goals, Policies, and Strategies across key focus areas—such as housing, transportation, economic development, and natural resources—to support informed decision-making and coordinated action by the Town.
The appendix consists of four sections: Inventory Chapters, Implementation Table, Public Participation Summary, and the Capital Investment Plan.
