Public participation is encouraged at these meetings of Hartford’s Plan of Conservation and Development. The POCD site states that  “Every ten years, the Hartford Planning and Zoning Commission is charged by Section 8-23 of the Connecticut General Statutes to prepare a Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) for the City. Hartford’s last Plan was adopted in 1996.”

The first of these meetings will be held Thursday evening at the library. Others will be at the YMCA on Albany Ave, Riverside Park Boathouse, Union Station, Lincoln Culinary Institute on Sigourney, and the CT Science Center.
