The Department of Planning and Development serves as the town’s chief planning and development office. The department provides staff to the Zoning Board of Appeals, Planning Board, and the Winchendon Redevelopment Authority; administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other grant programs; assists businesses with financial and regulatory issues; prepares and updates municipal planning documents; and administers assorted development activities. Derived from federal revenue sharing, the CDBG program is a critical source of funding for municipal and community development. CDBG funds also underwrite the major portion of the department’s operating costs.
