A municipal Conservation Commission is the official agency specifically charged with the protection of a community’s natural resources. A Conservation Commission also advises other municipal officials and boards on conservation issues that relate to their areas of responsibility.
The Planning Department is typically responsible for the development of plans that address issues such as land use, environmental protection, transportation, housing and public facilities. The department also reviews current development proposals such as rezonings, special use permits, site plans and subdivisions.
