What is a Plan of Conservation and Developement?
A Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) is an official, long-range planning document that provides policy guidance for future growth, development, zoning, land use, infrastructure, and services.
Brookfield's POCD was last adopted in 2015 and amended in 2016. Connecticut State statutes require municipalities to update their POCD every 10 years to ensure the plan reflects current demographics, planning efforts, and development context. To view the current POCD and other relevant documents visit the Documents page.
How can I get involved?
There are several opportunities for the public to get involved and provide their input on the POCD, including two public workshops, a survey, and a public hearing. Draft documents, upcoming events, an online survey, and other information will be added to the Get Involved page and publicized through Town media. Please join our mailing list to stay informed.
Who is leading this effort?
The Planning Commission is responsible for adopting the POCD. Many others will be involved in its development, including Town Staff, Board and Commission Chairs, and a consultant team.
The POCD Core Committee will direct the POCD update process by providing guidance on draft chapters, discussing input received from the public, assessing issues and opportunities, and suggesting recommendations for inclusion in the POCD. This Committee is a seven-member committee comprising four members of the Planning Commission, the Zoning Chair, Economic Development Chair, and Conservation Commission Chair.
