Andover’s 2013 Master Plan has reached its 10-year sunset, so for the past several months the Planning Board’s Master Planning subcommittee, chaired by Jake Gilman, has been meeting with townspeople to update our shared vision of Andover’s future for the coming decade.

Andover businesses and organizations are also a vital part of our community. We are offering all Andover organizations an opportunity to put forward their views for consideration in the master planning process, alongside those views brought to these public meetings by interested townspeople.

Our mutual purpose for these meetings will be to inform each other of our plans and projects and to coordinate our efforts, not only for our short-term interests, but also to discuss a shared long-term vision for Andover’s private and commercial development, infrastructure, and civic needs.

We invite everyone to review the 2013 Master Plan, which can be found on the Town website (andover-nh.gov > Find it Fast > View > Master Plan) and be prepared to share your thoughts on what we should protect, ways we should grow, and how Andover will thrive in the future.

Let’s meet in the AE/MS gym on Saturday, September 16 at 10 AM. Members of the public and representatives of organizations are all welcome.
