JLUS Open House Kittery

The public is invited to join the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) project team for an Open House on January 7, 2020 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Kittery Community Center - Star Theater, located at 120 Rogers Road.  

The Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is a collaborative planning effort between the Town of Kittery, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission to protect and preserve military readiness and defense capabilities while supporting continued community growth and economic development. For the past 12 months, the JLUS team has investigated a variety of issues, including traffic congestion, transportation services, housing, land use and economic development, with the input of many stakeholders, local and regional representatives and the public.  Over 40 short and long term strategies have been identified.

The project team wants to hear YOUR THOUGHTS on these strategies and the final report.  The recommendation from this report will impact the future of PNSY, Kittery, and the entire region. Your voice is important and all are welcome to attend.  A presentation will be shared at both 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM at the Open House on January 7, 2020.

The draft reports are available for review below and can also be found on the Town of Kittery's project page by clicking here, and SMPDC's project page, by clicking here.  Comments on the drafts will be accepted until January 27, 2020.  Comments/feedback can be emailed directly to Tom Reinauer at treinauer@smpdc.org.
