Slade's Ferry Neighborhood Plan

Welcome to the Slade's Ferry Neighborhood Plan Page!

For almost two years, the Town of Somerset has worked to create a renewed strategy that will help guide the future of its Slade's Ferry Neighborhood. At several events and through online surveys, residents and elected and appointed officials have drafted the updated zoning and design guidelines described on this page. To learn more, please attend the final project Workshop on May 12, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at the Somerset Public Library.

In the meantime, you can also check out this final project video and this presentation to the Planning Board Public Hearing on April 15 at 6:00 PM.
