Brentwood Master Plan Survey

Survey Introduction:

The Brentwood Master Plan Committee, in cooperation with the Brentwood Planning Board, is currently in the process of updating the Town's Master Plan and is seeking residents' opinions and input. This survey is the first step in the update process and will be one form of input on the Master Plan Update.

Under state law (RSA 674), Planning Boards must adopt and amend master plans to guide the development of the community by having a set of statements and land use priniciples. Master Plans are also required for a municipality to enact zoning regulations. The current Master Plan (updated between 1980 and 2018) is available on the Town website at: https://www.brentwoodnh.gov/resources/Planning-Board-4

This survey takes about 15 minutes, but you are encouraged to leave additional comments. All survey results will be published as part of the Master Plan Update. Every community member's response is important. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
