The Town of Hampton is currently updating its Master Plan! The Master Plan is a long-range planning document that outlines a vision for the future of Hampton and guides development, resource protection, and infrastructure investments.

About

Hampton is a dynamic coastal community with breathtaking natural resources, an active town center, close-knit residential neighborhoods, the highly popular Hampton Beach destination, and a robust local economy.

Currently, the Town of Hampton is continuing its work on the comprehensive update of the Town's Master Plan which helps to guide future development, infrastructure investments, natural resource protection, and other land use related issues. 

The Town's Master Plan Steering Committee will be working with a consultant, Resilience Planning and Design, to complete this update through 2021 and most of 2022.  The new Plan will combine extensive community engagement with a comprehensive analysis of the community to create an innovative, bright, and vibrant path forward for Hampton in the future.
