A Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) is a comprehensive planning document guiding conservation and development in a municipality for the next decade. The POCD identifies a community’s goals and aspirations relative to future land use, development, and conservation. The plan reviews existing conditions in a community such as the current economic conditions, housing, community facilities, natural resources, and open space. The plan discusses how and where these resources should be maintained and improved in the coming years. Overall, the plan aims to direct public and private development by establishing a community vision and informing decision making.
Clinton adopted the 2025 POCD on December 15, 2025. It became effective on January 1, 2026.
