Learn from the past, plan for the future! The City of Keene has completed a visioning and planning project that updated the City’s 2010 Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP).
The update took place in two phases, beginning with the renewal of Keene’s Community Vision. During the second phase, each of the 2010 CMP’s multiple topic-oriented chapters was examined and updated to reflect current community priorities. The 18-month process resulted in an updated Community Vision, Community Snapshot, and Comprehensive Master Plan that will guide the community’s decision-making for the next ten to fifteen years.
