The City of Milton strives to ensure its impactful actions are intentional, conscientious, community-driven. Guiding plans are pivotal to making that happen. Whether they focus on a specific area (Crabapple, Deerfield, etc.), a certain topic (transportation, parks, etc.), or a broader scope (like the Comprehensive Plan), these plans serve as valuable guides for future decisions. They are foundational in how the City functions, though they're not the final step -- as most every recommendation, such as for a project or ordinance change, still must go through its own separate process to be enacted.
