  • CHAPTER 6: SERVICES and INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction
    Chester 2009 Plan of Conservation and Development Page 6‐1 CHAPTER 6: SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE Introduction Town services and infrastructure are the framework on which the community network operates, progresses, and interacts. Town services include governing boards and commissions, social services, recreational programs, education, public safety, and public works. Infrastructure incorporates tangible facilities that can be moved, expanded, modified, or removed. The library, town hall, community center, transportation, communications, parks, trails, water, sewer, fire stations, and schools are some of the significant facilities that enhance community character and quality of life. This Plan of Conservation and Development explores Chester’s services and infrastructure to provide recommendations to address future needs. To coordinate efficient and effective town planning, multiple services need to be supported by mutually shared infrastructure. A caveat in final recommendations within this section of the plan is the ability of the town to legally act within the context of enabling statutes outlined by the State of Connecticut. There are also policies and standards outlined by the state and federal government which the town follows in the context of receiving state funding or use of state property. Chester has significant acreage dedicated to state or regional ownership; parks, forest, regional watershed, and transportation. The town’s ability to coordinate future planning goals with infrastructure improvements in parks, roads, and utilities
