Why is the General Plan being updated?

The Town of Windsor adopted its current General Plan in 1996. Since that time the Town has grown and changed. When the last General Plan was adopted, the internet was not widely used and the youngest members of today’s workforce had not yet been born. New laws have passed that affect general plans and new planning strategies have been developed. These changes require a reevaluation of the existing General Plan and confirmation of the vision for Windsor. The updated General Plan will look ahead to the year 2040, so the update will not only bring policies and programs up to date, but also position Windsor for the next 22 years.
