The Comprehensive Plan Update Committee submitted the plan to the Maine State Planning Office to be reviewed for consistency with Maine's Growth Management Act. On October 12, 2010 the State Planning Office issues a Finding of Consistency.

A Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Update was held on May 25, 2011 and revisions were made to the plan to correct some factual and typographical errors.  All chapters posted below now reflect those changes. No substantive policy changes were made at the Public Hearing. Under Maine State Law, the Comprehensive Plan must by adopted by a vote of the town's legislative body (Town Meeting).

The Comprehensive Plan was adopted by voters in Lubec at the regular Annual Municipal Town Meeting of August 2nd.
