Land Use Department

 

The mission statement of the Land Use Department is to guide the development of land and its use within the Town of Townsend in a manner that preserves the Town's unique character while guiding reasonably planned growth and development.

To accomplish the mission of the department, there are three land use boards: Planning Board, Conservation Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals.

The Land Use Department is a growing department, and the staff welcomes residents to share their thoughts and questions about land use within the community. Please reach out by phone, email, or come in to start a conversation. Video calls are also available for residents who would like to connect.
