• Final Approved Version 2015 - Plymouth Plan of Conservation & Development 

Plymouth's Plan of Development, adopted in 1993, lays the framework for consolidating industrial and commercial areas to provide more cohesive land use cores nearer public utilities and highway access. To that end, the Planning & Zoning Commission and its staff coordinate efforts with the business community and the Economic Development Commission to facilitate economic growth. The largest single project currently before the Economic Development Commission is Phase III of the Plymouth Business Park.  The Business Park Phase III lots along with detailed information and photos are listed on CERC SiteFinder.
