Clarksburg Master Plan Community Meeting
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town of Clarksburg is hosting a community conversation on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Community Center to discuss the results of the recent master plan survey and gather additional feedback on the town's future.
Clarksburg is developing its first Master Plan since 1965. The plan serves as a basis for policy decisions for the next 15-20 years. The forum provides another opportunity for residents to share their vision and ideas about the town's long-term priorities.
"This is a great opportunity for residents to share their ideas and desires for the community and build consensus about the town's future. I encourage all residents to attend these forums and provide comments to ensure this truly is the community's plan," Town Administrator Ron Boucher said.
A total of 124 residents responded to the survey between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31 asking the reasons they choose to live in Clarksburg, what they want to see in the future, and where the town should prioritize future investments. The survey addressed the topics of education, open space and recreation, economic development, housing, historic resources, land use, transportation, agriculture, and town services.
The survey, public forums, and stakeholder interviews inform the committee's development of long-term goals and actionable steps for town officials and stakeholders to enact the community's vision.
The Feb. 5 forum is the second of three community conversations regarding the development of the plan. The town will also accept written comments later in the spring, when the plan will be posted for public comment on the Town's website.
