2018-2023 POCD Update

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.
