The Department of Planning and Economic Development is busy behind the scenes preparing for a City-wide Comprehensive Plan process. The last Comprehensive Plan was published in 1996. Since then, Brockton has undergone significantly population and socio/economic changes. The new plan will incorporate those changes and better represent the goals and aspirations of our community.
Goals and policies: a statement which identifies the goals and policies of the municipality for its future growth and development.
Land use: identifies present land use and designates the proposed distribution, location and inter-relationship of public and private land uses in the future. The plan should identify the proposed standards of population density and building intensity to the capacity of land available or planned facilities and services. A land use plan map illustrating the land use policies of the municipality shall be included.
Housing: identifies and analyzes existing and forecasted housing needs and objectives including programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing for all income levels.
Economic Development: identifies policies and strategies for the expansion or stabilization of the local economic base and the promotion of employment opportunities.
Natural and Cultural Resources: an inventory of the significant natural, cultural and historic resource areas of the municipality, and policies and strategies for the protection and management of such areas.
Open Space and Recreation: an inventory of recreational and resources and open space areas of the municipality, and policies and strategies for the management and protection of such resources and areas.
Services and Facilities: identifies and analyzes existing and forecasted needs for facilities and services used by the public.
Transportation (Circulation): an inventory of existing and proposed circulation and transportation systems.
(Implementation Plan: defines and schedules the specific municipal actions necessary to achieve the objectives of each element of the Comprehensive Plan. Scheduled expansion or replacement of public facilities or circulation system components and the anticipated costs and revenues associated with accomplishment of such activities shall be detailed in this element. This element shall specify the process by which the municipality’s regulatory structures shall be amended so as to be consistent with the master plan.

I did read what town of Kingston is doing and thought they have some valid points not all relevant to, Brockton. They've gone from mixed use to strictly commercial. Just found an interesting read.
www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/sout...Headline&s_campaign=
"A Hingham company’s plan to build an office park on 100 acres in Kingston off Route 44 near Route 3 is moving along through town boards, eased by the estimated $1 million in annual tax revenue and the 1,000 jobs the project is expected to generate. Kingston selectmen unanimously approved the proposed Kingston Commerce Center on May 3, and the Planning Board was also receptive in its review on May 9 of Saxon Partners’ plan to invest about $100 million on the site abutting Colony Place and the Kingston Collection mall.
“You can’t get better than pure taxes without many services being provided,” selectmen chairwoman Elaine A. Fiore said as the board voted to support the plan."

Pertaining to Brockton....the head on your shoulder doesn't mean there's anything in it.

Driving around the City, I have never seen such disregard for one's property. Grass knee deep in some yards; Streets littered like a land fill. Residents of multi not giving a crap of where they live or how it looks. I see properties that are pristine next door to crap holes. Sad...

off base as to how to run a city, it's pukingly sick. As I said, there's tons of money to be had.
Oops...sorry. If we did acquire more money they'd spend it on hiring someone to do a study or
something else stupid, because we never seem to have anyone with intelligence to do any
of the simple jobs. These are the people we need to get rid of. Title and no knowledge or
experience. Why? Because they were hired due to relationship or friendship.

Daisy wrote: CH, we have 2 Code Enforcement officers. I have had success with SeeClickFix. I wonder though if they are reactive to complaints vs seeing something and doing something. At one time, a police officer was on Code Enforcement, with a Fire Fighter and they were kicking butt and cleaning up sites. They hurt some feelings and were disbanded. Guess you have to be politically correct with scofflaws.
We should have a citizen Army armed with cameras scouring the city for messes.
I did it one day, it was really enlightening.
