State Plan of Conservation and Development, 2018-2023 Revision
Overview
Sections 16a-25 through 16a-30 of the Connecticut General Statutes establish a process by which the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) shall revise a state plan of conservation and development (State C&D Plan) once every five years. Each 5-year revision is prepared with consultation from regional councils of governments, municipalities, state agencies, and the public. In summer 2016, OPM began the revision process for the Draft 2018-2023 State C&D Plan, which was submitted to the Continuing Legislative Committee on State Planning and Development (Continuing Committee) for its approval, revision, or disapproval during the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 legislative sessions.

All written comments on the Locational Guide Map should be submitted to the address listed above. Written comments and proposed edits to the Locational Guide Map may also be submitted using an interactive web-based map editor (soon available), or by way of GIS shapefiles, digital/PDF maps, or printed maps. For example, if a new sewer service area in your municipality is not properly reflected in OPM's PFA boundaries, please submit a map of the new sewer service area boundaries. Specifically, OPM is requesting all municipalities to update the following data layers as appropriate:
-
Village Priority Funding Areas: request edits to the boundaries of existing VPFAs or the establishment of new VPFAs.
-
Local Conservation Priorities: areas deemed to be of high conservation priority by the municipality
-
Protected Lands: update the boundaries of properties that are legally protected from development (water company owned lands, deed restricted lands, etc.)
-
Local Historic Districts: update the boundaries of Local Historic Districts as applicable
