Norwood Comprehensive Plan

Town of Norwood Comprehensive Plan website:

"The Norwood Comprehensive Plan will be a 10-year vision and roadmap for our Town's future. This Plan will be the foundational policy document for our Town - guiding local decisions about future growth, preservation, and change. For the first time since the 1990s, our community will engage in a process to help shape our built environment, envision our desired future for Norwood, and select effective strategies to help achieve our vision and goals.

This 18-month process, ongoing since August 2024, is divided into four phases. Each phase aims to build a different piece of the Comprehensive Plan and invites community members to contribute in different ways.

This project website will serve as a central location for community members to learn about the Norwood Comprehensive Plan and where we are in the process. We invite you to explore the site to see what we have already achieved. Please continue to check for updates and opportunities to engage, and don't forget to join our mailing list!"
