Want To Get Involved? Join the Planning Board!

Do you have GREAT ideas for the Town of Kittery? Do you have skills that would benefit our community? Does the idea of finding creative ways to help the community and those in it, excite you?  If you answered YES and have a desire to help the community, then we would love for you to get involved.  There are currently two open seats on our Planning Board.

The Planning Board advises the Town Council on re-zonings and other development related items.  It’s also responsible for the final decision (to approve or deny) on major site applications for new development projects, such as new retail uses, restaurants, housing developments or commercial buildings. The Board helps to ensure proposed development does not adversely impact the health, safety and welfare of Kittery, assuring the protection of the Town's character and providing high quality development.  Decisions are based not just on the ordinances, but also include project-specific information such as traffic impact analysis or housing studies.  The Planning Board has a direct role in shaping Kittery's development.

To apply, complete the application found here and submit it to the Town Clerk in person at the Town Hall located at 200 Rogers Road in Kittery, or via email to mplace@kitteryme.org.   

The deadline for completed applications is 4:00 PM on November 7th.
