A Master Plan for Downtown Rockport is the subject of a forum to be held by the Rockport Planning Board on Thursday, May 5, 7 p.m., in the Brenner Room at the Rockport Library. (A second forum specifically on proposed by-law changes will be held May 19.)

Members of the Planning Board will summarize key findings from research and from information gathered from residents who attended one or more of six forums held during the past year.

The goal is to reach a shared Vision for Rockport. What will our Town be like 20 years from now? What will it look like? Who will live, shop, and work here? What can we do now to shape the future for the best outcome?

Town officials, committee members, business and property owners, and residents are encouraged to attend.
