Littleton readies new master plan

The Littleton Planning Board has made final adjustments on a draft version of the town’s master plan in preparation for a public hearing some time in October.

The proposed master plan is separated into 12 subsections addressing various issues, including land use, natural resources, historic and cultural resources, economic development, transportation and recreation.

The plan aims to strike a balance between commercial development and rural preservation, and does not recommend radical changes to Littleton, officials said.
