The Office of Development & Planning (ODP) administers and is responsible for a broad and complex array of planning, regulatory, economic and community development programs designed to improve the quality of life for the citizens of New London.
The office is divided into three separate divisions: Planning, Zoning & Wetlands, Economic Development, and Community Development.
The programs administered by the Office of Development and Planning staff include: the Community Development Block Grant Program, the Housing Conservation Program, the Neighborhood Improvement Program, the Enterprise Zone, and a variety of other federal, state and locally funded special programs.
Through a unique series of partnerships with citizens, businesses and community organizations, the Office of Development and Planning staff implement the objectives contained within the City's adopted community and special area plans such as the Plan of Conservation and Development, the Downtown Action Agenda, Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and the Consolidated Housing and Community Development Strategy.
ODP staff provide technical assistance and expertise to other city departments and a wide range of boards, commissions and agencies. In addition, staff prepare and administer grants and contracts for a variety of special projects and are the principal point of contact for developers, entrepreneurs and others exploring New London as an ideal location to establish a business or a home.
