Following over a year of extensive input from citizens, the Milton City Council has passed the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, a roadmap for policymakers that spells out the community’s vision for the future and how they will get there.

“It’s just been really a collective effort, and I think it shows the strength of Milton,” said Community Development Director Bob Buscemi. “… Everybody really contributed.”

The 2040 Plan addresses land use, economic development, placemaking and branding, transportation, and sustainability. A detailed short-term work program outlines how the plan will turn into deliverable actions. This program features nearly 100 different initiatives for city staff to explore over the next five years at council’s ongoing discretion.

“We were able to [deliver] a tremendous product,” Council Member Paul Moore added. “I think it’s in keeping where Milton intended to go … We’re not necessarily market-driven. We’re Milton citizen-driven.”
