Plan of Conservation & Development 

The Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) is a tool for guiding the future of Bloomfield.  The Town is currently in the final stages of updating it's POCD.  Click on the button at the right to view or download the current draft of the Plan.

The POCD establishes a vision and common goals for the community’s future and identifies action steps that, when implemented, will help attain that vision. If steadily implemented by Bloomfield residents and officials, the Plan will help protect important resources, guide appropriate development, protect community character, and enhance the quality of life for current and future Bloomfield residents.

In addition to being an overall guide for the community, the POCD is a legal document adopted by the Town Plan and Zoning Commission (TPZ) pursuant to Section 8-23 of the Connecticut General Statues.  The Statutes require that the Commission revisit and re-adopt the Plan at least every 10 years. The POCD is advisory in nature and provides guidance for Town decisions related to land-use regulations and capital improvements.
