Message from a Snowplow Driver

I would like every road user to take a few minutes to read this. You might learn something that could save you a lot of frustration, prevent accidents, and even save lives.

• A snowplow can measure up to 16 feet wide with its wing extended — that’s the width of 3 cars.

• It can weigh up to 34,000 kg (75,000 lbs) — the weight of 30 cars.

​

The Town of Sorrento is inviting public comment on a revised draft version of the Future Land Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. 

 

The Comprehensive Plan Committee made these revisions after receiving additional community feedback following the Plan’s initial submission to the State. The primary amendment is the Town is seeking a growth area exemption. 

​

Documents and more information are available on the 2025 Sorrento Comprehensive Plan page of this website.

​

After the local public comment period closes, the Comprehensive Plan Committee will submit the revised Future Land Use chapter to the State Municipal Planning Assistance Program (MPAP). MPAP will open an additional 20-day public comment period and review the chapter for consistency with State requirements. Following the State’s consistency determination, the Town will hold a public hearing prior to Town Meeting, where voters will ultimately consider adoption of the Comprehensive Plan.
