Plan was written in 1995 and adopted in 1996. Since that time, there have been a number of changes, both in Milbridge and in Maine law as it relates land use and municipal comprehensive plans.

The Comprehensive Plan pulls together information on a wide-range of community issues to assess trends and establish town policies over 10- to 15-year period. As the Comprehensive Plan process moves forward, the Committee will post draft chapters, survey questions and other documents relative to the Comprehensive Plan on this page.
