About This Project

Kennebunkport’s last Comprehensive Plan was adopted by Town Meeting in 2012. Maine’s Growth Management Act requires that such plans be updated every ten years, or sooner if circumstances warrant. In September 2019, the Town hired professional planning consultants to assist the Growth Management Committee with a major update to the plan. The Project Schedule anticipates a complete plan by the end of 2021.

The Growth Planning Committee meets at 6PM on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. All are welcome to attend the meetings. Videos of past meetings are available on the Town’s YouTube channel. You may also watch the meetings live at KennebunkportTV. The committee prepares agendas & minutes for every meeting.
