This master plan is the product of a 64-week process. In the first phase, a Master Plan Steering Committee of nine knowledgeable individuals was formed to share their views of the current issues the town is facing with a Conway School team of 3 graduate students. These committee members represent different sectors in town—farmers, landowners, town departments, private businesses, and town planners.
Many town departments and organizations met to express their vision for the future of Bernardston. The views expressed in these meetings were used together with past town reports and published data to compile the first 5 sections in this report and draft initial recommendations. The Master Plan Steering Committee continued to gather information and feedback from the general public from April 2015 to January 2016, when a second group of Conway students joined the process and finished the plan with 4 more sections and more recommendations.
