Danvers Is Taking Action
Danvers is creating its first community-wide strategic plan to help navigate a period of transition which offers both opportunities and challenges.
This planning process began in Fall 2022. It is an exciting opportunity to hear from a broad range of residents and others. Together, we’ll explore topics like growth and development, quality of life, municipal services and finances, and economic diversity. We’ll identify opportunities and priorities for the future, discuss tradeoffs needed to help achieve our vision, and translate these into an action plan to guide municipal decision-making. We anticipate completing the final plan in early 2024.
Resilient Danvers
Danvers also recently finalized a Climate Action, Sustainability, Preservation, and Resiliency (CASPR) plan. Learn more on the Resilient Danvers project website.
Get Involved and Learn More
Hearing from a broad range of residents is an important part of this process. Throughout our planning process we'll offer opportunities to share your ideas and feedback with us.
