Public Participation

Public participation played a central role in shaping Freeport’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan. The planning process included five public workshops, each focused on a different topic area such as housing, the environment, and land use, allowing residents to share their perspectives and ideas. In addition, a community-wide survey gathered input from over 1,000 participants, and targeted outreach was conducted with local stakeholders, including businesses, nonprofits, and community groups. This broad engagement helped ensure the plan reflects the diverse voices and priorities of the Freeport community.
