Bethel officials are starting to update the town's Plan of Conservation and Development.  State law requires the plans to be updated every 10 years.  Bridging the gap between Bethel's last update in 2007 and now was the Bethel Forward Transit Oriented Development Master Plan, completed in 2016.  The Plan of Development includes a focus on revitalizing regional centers, expanding housing opportunities, concentrating development around transportation corridors, conserving the natural environment, protecting cultural and historic resources, and integrating planning across all levels of government.  The Bethel Planning and Zoning Commission has launched an online survey to gather input from the community to determine values and generate ideas to guide Bethel’s priorities over the next 10 years.
