Planning Board

Communities respond to change. How we respond to change sets apart. Some prefer to avoid change altogether, taking steps to isolate themselves from anything that may change the status quo. Others find themselves surprised by change, confronted with problems that could have been anticipated. Newfields recognizes that social and economic forces continually influence our community, and that our individual and collective interests are best served through understanding, preparedness, participation, and planning.
