In the fall of 2019, the Town of Raynham began creating a new Master Plan that will help guide the town moving forward. To complete this work, we need to hear from you - Raynham residents, business owners, and workforce members. Your input is the essential ingredient – combined with current, accurate data – that builds Raynham’s Master Plan!
There are no upcoming events at this time.
The "Discovery" Workshop Summary is now available! Please feel free to share it with your friends and neighbors!
A Master Plan is a narrative document describing the story of Raynham’s history and the experience of living in town today. It is a policy document that lays out an optimal vision for Raynham and articulates the strategies, actions, and decisions that will assist the town in arriving at that future. In short, it is a long-range plan that helps guide the town, that builds trust by making transparent decisions, and that bases those decisions on accurate information and public input.
You can also reach out to Raynham's Building Commissioner, Robert Iafrate, or SRPEDD's project leads, Jed Cornock, AICP and Lizeth Gonzalez, at 508-824-1367 with questions or comments.

The project team considered Raynham's previous planning reports and projects to gather a collection of goals and priorities that remain relevant to the town's residents, business owners, and future growth opportunities.
To the right, you will find goals & priorities organized by the Elements of a Master Plan. Each goal and priority is a direct quote from a previous plan or study carried out and endorsed by the Town of Raynham.
