See survey results in English or en Español (parcial) and additional results (in English).

Comprehensive Planning
A comprehensive plan is a strategic framework that identifies a community’s vision and goals and guides future physical and economic development.
Over the next year, we will be creating this comprehensive vision for Montague’s future through a series of workshops and surveys.
Updating the Montague Comprehensive Plan will involve the entire community in a multi-year visioning and planning initiative focused on preparing Montague for a healthy, strong, and climate-resilient future, while at the same time maintaining its unique character and sense of community.
