The Planning Process
The process used to prepare the Plan is illustrated by the adjacent flowchart. Following a comprehensive inventory and
assessment of Colchester, a consensus was established on important issues through a number of public meetings, surveys
and other exercises. Various recommendations were discussed and refined as the Plan was finalized. Implementation
takes place after the Plan is adopted and the various recommendations are put into action and evaluated.

Other Relevant Information
In addition to this Plan, other relevant information has included workbooks (booklets on different topical issues) prepared
during the process for participants, previously adopted plans, and materials such as resident surveys. The workbooks
were placed at Town Hall and the Cragin Memorial Library for residents to review during the process.
In the case of conflict between this Plan and such other information, the recommendations of the adopted Plan take
precedence.
Many people were involved in the preparation of the Plan over a two-year period. While it is not possible to name them
all, the major participants are listed on the inside front cover of the Plan.
