The Community Development Office administers all grant funds awarded the Town

priorities for the expenditure of CDBG funds.

involves the following: (1) Explore the possibility of joining the National
Trust for Preservation's Main Street Program, or similar movement; (2) Upon
approval of zoning guidelines by the Enfield Planning & Zoning Commission,
develop a plan to implement and promote the Village District designation of
Thompsonville and Hazardville in a manner that encourages revitalization
efforts; and (3) Using the Town's published priorities in the 1999 Plan of
Conservation and Development, recommend an action plan for the following goals
and objectives to the Town Council: a) Maintain the Town's residential character
and historic properties through preservation efforts at the neighborhood level;
and b) Protect, preserve, enhance and promote Enfield's heritage.
