OLD LYME — The Old Lyme Planning Commission has announced a new photo contest for Old Lyme residents for the upcoming edition of the Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD). The Planning Commission is in the process of rewriting the POCD for 2020, which is revised every 10 years.
The 10 most representative photos of the town will be chosen for inclusion in the 2020 POCD. Various categories include, but are not limited to, Town Hall, nature/waterfront, farmland, open space, historic sites, municipal structures, houses of worship, etc.
Digitized photo entries should be submitted by email to [email protected] by Aug. 31, 2020.
The winners will be announced on the Town website and their photo submissions will be included in the 2020 POCD with their name credited below the picture.
The Planning Commission asks readers to note that by submitting their photography, they are also agreeing to allow the Town of Old Lyme to share their image(s), with appropriate credit on the Town of Old Lyme’s website and Facebook page.
William Folland says
What a hoot, emphasis should be on updating the plan of Conservation and Development (POCD) to address issues involving Halls Road development and affordable housing and the focus is on a photo contest. Is there any wonder why nothing happens.
Remember zoning laws and future planning of our town are dictated in no small part by the POCD.
