The Western Connecticut Council of Governments is requesting public comments for its draft 2020-2030 Regional Plan of Conservation and Development.
The plan will replace the previous POCDs issued by the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials in 2009 and the South Western Regional Planning Agency in 2006. Those organizations were merged to form WestCOG, which is made up of Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Danbury, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Norwalk, Redding, Ridgefield, Sherman, Stamford, Weston, Westport and Wilton.
Public comments on the plan, which is available here, can be made through Jan. 4.
In addition, WestCOG is hosting a pair of informational meetings for the public at which comments can be made. Those will be held at the Greenwich Audubon Center at 7 p.m. on Dec. 4, and at Highstead, formerly the Highstead Arboretum, in West Redding at 7 p.m. on Dec. 5.
