We need a plan from which to deviate - how did comprehensive plans get started in the US? How is the comprehensive plan going in Bridgton? What are the requirements?

The fun slides at the end are backdrops to talk about what issues Bridgton Comprehensive Plan committee are facing in finalizing their policy recommendations.
