3. Approved the Vision Statement:  The Town of Farmington offers a safe, high quality of life for its residents.  By concentrating growth in designated locations, and encouraging agricultural activity and the preservation of farmland and critical natural areas, the Town is able to retain its rural character.  Town government encourages citizen involvement, while good schools, churches and recreational opportunities, along with historic places in the Town, continue to foster an enduring sense of community.

Processing the discussion, Todd Roehl explained the updated Land Use Map which added the additional properties that had been developed since our original Land Use Map was created.

It was suggested that the map be hung at the town hall for citizens to view, plus approval needed from  town for  use in the Smart Growth Plan.
