The Griswold Department of Planning & Community Development serves as technical staff support to the Griswold Board of Selectmen, Planning & Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Conservation Commission, and Economic Development Commission. The Department works closely with the Boards and Commissions to set and carry out policies for growth of the Borough and the Town, its services, and facilities.

The staff frequently undertakes similar planning involvement in population analyses, community development, economic development, and natural resource protection and is charged with interpretation, review and recommendation for revision of all Borough and Town-wide Land Use Regulations. The Department is also responsible for the preparation of Federal and State grant applications, grant administration, and oversight of grant-funded projects, including the Triangle Wire & Cable Brownfield Remediation & Redevelopment Project.

Property owners interested in dividing or developing their land are encouraged to consult with the Town Planner before moving forward so as to be informed of the relevant regulations and procedures that must be followed. The Town Planner may be able to assist in identifying land-use options available to the land owner not previously considered; but in all cases, the Planning staff is ready to assist any person in need of guidance on the Town’s regulatory policies as they may relate to development of land, provision of public services, or the general health, safety, and welfare of Griswold's residents.

Applications to present proposals before Griswold’s Land Use Boards & Commissions are available in the Department office and must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting in conformance with the submission instructions prescribed thereon.
