Town of Jamestown
2025 Comprehensive Community Plan 

WELCOME

Jamestown is currently in the process of updating its 2015 Community Comprehensive Plan (sometimes known as a Comprehensive Plan or a "Comp Plan") to reflect evolving community needs and priorities. In accordance with state requirements, Comprehensive Plans must be updated every 10 years to ensure they remain relevant and responsive to changing conditions, while a full rewrite is mandated every 20 years to align long-term vision with the latest developments and trends. This update builds on the foundation of the 2015 Plan, incorporating new data and community input to guide Jamestown's growth and sustainability over the next decade.

 

This process is headed up by the Town of Jamestown's Planning Department and is guided by the Commission. In the planning process, the planning team looks at historic trends, new data, and projections for the future. The planning team is currently gathering public input through a variety of methods, including public workshops, photo contest, and focused discussions with stakeholders around the Town.

 

Please return to this site for updates on ways to get involved and stay informed on the plan.
