Comprehensive Plan

Canaan’s Comprehensive Plan establishes a coordinated, future-oriented framework to guide public and private decision-making over the next 10–15 years. It is designed to serve as a road map for how the Town can stimulate growth and manage change while safeguarding its environmental, agricultural, and scenic assets. It sets forth a shared vision, long-range goals, and targeted strategies to enhance quality of life, economic vitality, and community resilience in ways that reflect the values of Canaan’s residents.
