To all property owners, full-time and seasonal residents of Cutler:
You are invited to participate in a Comprehensive Plan Survey for the Town of Cutler. Your input and the input from others will be used in updating our Comprehensive Plan which includes physical data, town history, and thoughts of the community that describe Cutler as it was, as it is, and as it could become. The Cutler Comprehensive Plan will cover natural resources, land use, commercial activities, housing, town history, population trends, town policies, town services, recreational activities, and, most importantly, future needs of the community. If this survey is to really be useful, you must “speak your mind” in answering these questions.
Complete the survey by March 7, 2025!
You may pick up a printed copy at the Town Office or call 207-259-3693 to have it mailed.
The Town Comprehensive Plan Committee thanks you for your time and input!
Interested in joining the Comprehensive Plan Committee?

If multiple people in your household are using the same computer or device to take the survey, make sure to clear the browser history after submitting. This way, you can start a fresh survey.
A New Comprehensive Plan for Cutler
WHY NOW?
A Comprehensive Plan needs a community to come together to consider Cutler’s future. Comprehensive Plans are good for ten years after they are approved by the State. Our last plan was written in 1991.
WHY UPDATE THE PLAN?
Cutler has changed a lot over the last 33 years and continues to change. Having an approved Comprehensive Plan makes Cutler eligible for grants from the state and allows the town to create land use ordinances, impact fees, rate of growth, and shoreland zoning ordinances that can stand up in a court of law.
WHO?
You, working through the committee, will make this plan a good one for Cutler. The committee is a totally diverse group of volunteers ready to work with Cutler residents to make a plan that meet Cutler’s needs.
We would like to have you attend our outreach and committee meetings; and you can always read our notes on this page.
We need everyone’s voice; please help us account for yours in this plan.
HOW?
We have decided to start one chapter at a time, in part to learn more about what help we may need to complete the plan. We will likely need some outside help. A grant application has been submitted that could cover the cost we may want.
The most important aspect of this is your input.
WHEN & WHERE?
We will hold public meetings and hearings; and all of our regular committee meetings are open to you, too. They are currently scheduled the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 1p to 3p at the Cutler Town Office. That may change – the best way to find out when the next meeting will be is checking our web site cutlermaine.net or call the town office.
