After a few years of internal work, the City contracted with North Star Planning in 2022 to hold public engagement events for the plan and complete the work staff had started. NSP hosted several in-person meetings and online activities to get wide-ranging input from the community and developed an implementation-focused final plan based around four big ideas for Bath.

The Town of Gray hired North Star Planning to provide a major update to Gray’s previous Comprehensive Plan, which was never found consistent with the Growth Management Act. North Star Planning coordinated all public process elements, including surveys and community visioning work, future land use workshops, mapping, and plan drafting.
