Tier 3-NR: Controlled Investment Areas, Non-Residential Areas with commercial, office, or industrial development envisioned on the FLUM that are outside existing utility service areas. The Town should limit its role in extending new infrastructure in these areas to opportunities for public- private partnerships, where the private interest assumes a significant responsibility (funding and construction) to extend service to their property. The only exception to this policy should be for opportunities where infrastructure expansion supports clear economic development goals for the Town. Some areas in Tier 3-NR are served by other utility providers. In these areas, the Town’s efforts to extend utilities should be limited to coordination activities.

Some areas in Tier 3-R are served by other utility providers. In these areas, the Town’s efforts to extend utilities should be limited to coordination activities. Tier 4: Minimal Investment Areas Areas identified for minimal infrastructure investments to meet property-owner needs; acknowledging many responsibilities to live and work in these areas are borne by private landowners as a trade-off for the opportunity to live in a more rural-setting (e.g., well and septic systems, private open space, long travel distance to schools, etc.). Infrastructure investments in these areas should be limited to items that safeguard the community’s
walkable and vibrant places. Projects should also consider opportunities to link neighborhoods to development activity centers, parks, or greenways; address reoccurring flooding issues; mitigate vehicle congestion; or relieve school- overcrowding. Tier 2-NR: Infill Investment Areas, Non-Residential Areas with commercial, office, or industrial development envisioned on the FLUM that are inside existing or planned utility service areas and now stable. These areas should be targeted for small- to large-scale infrastructure investments that keep properties economically-viable in the future. Town officials should prioritize new infrastructure projects that upsize for additional capacity and fill-in missing segments for important street, water, or sewer connections. Continued investment in these areas should maximize return-on-investment potential for the Town by 1) minimizing utility expansion costs and 2) maximizing land productivity for private property owners that increases tax revenues for the Town. Infrastructure investments that support economic development — new jobs or new sales tax revenue — should be a high priority. Tier 2-R: Infill Investment Areas, Residential Areas with residential development envisioned on the FLUM that are inside existing or planned utility service areas and now stable. These areas should be targeted for small- to medium-scale infrastructure investments that help overcome specific hurdles or challenges, or fill-in missing segments for important street, water, or sewer connections. Specific projects should be considered that link neighborhoods to development activity centers, parks, or greenways; address reoccurring flooding issues; mitigate vehicle congestion; or relieve school-overcrowding.
