 Lubec Comprehensive Plan Update 
Lubec's current Comprehensive Plan was written in 1992. A lot has changed in Lubec since then! The Comprehensive Plan Update Committee has been working to update the Town's Comprehensive Plan since 2008. The Comprehensive Plan Update pulls together information on a wide-range of community issues to assess trends and establish town policies.

Update - July 29, 2010
The Lubec Comprehensive Plan Update was submitted to the State Planning Office for review in June 2010. On July 22, the State Planning Office issued a Finding of Incompleteness based on two missing elements. The Letter from the State Planning Office also indicated changes that could be made to the Future Land Use Plan in order to expedite the State Planning Office's review of the plan of Consistency with Maine's Growth Management Act.

The Comprehensive Plan Update committee is working to schedule a meeting to discuss the State Planning Office's Findings. A time and location for that meeting will be posted on this website as soon as possible. Relevant documents (including the Comprehensive Plan as submitted to SPO in June are posted below).
