Summary
What exactly is a Comprehensive Plan, and why is it so important for Orleans’ future? In this episode, host Amanda Converse talks with Planning and Community Development Director George Meservey, Planning Board Chair John Ostman, and Sharon Rooney of Tighe & Bond about the new Orleans 2050 Comprehensive Plan. They break down what the plan is (and isn’t), why every Cape Cod community needs one under the Cape Cod Commission framework, and how the plan guides long-term decisions around housing, land use, infrastructure, the environment, and economic vitality.
