The input of Bedford citizens is critical to the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The planning process provides a range of opportunities to be involved in planning for Bedford's future in 2045 and beyond, including community surveys and public events.
The comprehensive plan update process is moving forward with a vision for the future of the Town of Bedford. At the July 2, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the plan update consultant team presented major components of the plan, including proposed future land use categories and foundational goals across critical topics such as housing, economy, infrastructure, transportation, and community services. These draft goals aim to preserve Bedford’s character while guiding growth, supporting a strong local economy, promoting housing diversity and affordability, and enhancing mobility and public amenities.
The plan reflects extensive input from earlier public engagement efforts, planning studies, and local trends, and is now entering an exciting new phase. With the Planning Commission’s feedback in hand, the team will begin assembling draft chapters and plans to engage the wider community for additional input. On August 27, 2025, community members gathered for an in-person public engagement event to help shape Bedford’s long-term future. Materials from this meeting are now available on the Project Resources page.
Stay tuned for further opportunities to get involved as the draft chapters take shape. In the meantime, you can share your thoughts and ideas using the contact form below. Your feedback continues to be an essential part of this important planning process.
