Work continues on Cumberland’s Official Community Plan.

This winter the OCP review focused on public engagement for the climate action plan.

This spring, community members will be invited to explore other OCP policies that support a livable and healthy community. Key topics will include housing, transportation options, and growing in a way that will keep the cost of infrastructure manageable.

Mayor Vickey Brown encourages residents to get involved: “It is so important that the community share their thoughts on how we develop into the future, we’ve seen a lot of change over the past decade; this is an opportunity to share your thoughts on where we are headed. We want to make sure everyone’s voice is heard and valued in this review process.”

The OCP is a key document that guides how Cumberland will grow and adapt to change. The review was launched last May.

Over 175 participants shared their long-term vision and goals for the Village and identified hot topics for further discussion.

This month, 65 community members participated in two separate engagement events and provided input into ways greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced in the community.
