The planning board essentially has three roles:

I. The planning role, in which the board establishes a vision for the future of its community and identifies the steps necessary to achieve that vision;

II. The legislative role, in which the board proposes ordinances and enacts regulations—the rules by which to achieve the vision; and

III. The regulatory role, in which the board applies the ordinances and rules to specific situations in fulfillment of the vision.

The Sutton Planning Board meets at the Pillsbury Memorial Hall, 93 Main Street, Sutton Mills, NH on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm.
