The Master Plan Working Group was initiated in December 2015, charged by the Select Board and Planning Board to begin the process of updating Shutesbury's 2004 Master Plan. The first step toward that update was a visioning process in which town residents weighed in on how they would like to see the Town change over the next 10 years.  To that end, a planning design firm was hired to oversee two community visioning workshops. These workshops were held on Thursday, November 3 and Monday, December 5, 2016.
