General Plan 

The General Plan provides the legal basis for land use ordinances and policy issues and gives long-term guidance for future decision-making. In order to be effective, it should also embody the goals and desires of the community. One of the most important objectives of the Plan is that it attempts to inject long-range consideration into the determination of short-range actions. Day-to-day public and private decisions that guide and create change must be deliberately made with a long-range outlook. Castle Valley's plan covers a broad range of topics:

• Land Use
• Housing
• Transportation
• Water
• Fire Protection
• Environmental Concerns
• Town Government

The Town's General Plan review and update process is done about every five years.  Results of the survey are crucial in order to gauge property owners' values and beliefs about land use and growth and what they envision for the future of our Town.
