(from Chester Town Plan)
The people of Chester desire to maintain the rural character of the community while encouraging the economic well-being of its residents. The rural character is exemplified by the many attributes of the Town; the vast amount of wooded and undeveloped areas; the unique villages and the streams and abundant wildlife.
The Town of Chester illustrates a traditional village character. A mixture of residential and commercial uses exist in harmony. As development pressures increase upon the Town and less densely populated areas, it is vital that the unique characteristics of the Town be preserved. The Town wishes to continue a mixture of residential and commercial development.
Most residents live in Chester by choice, thereby indicating a preference for this rural character rather than an urban or suburban community. They want growth to occur at a pace and in a manner which does not destroy the character of the community or result in significant tax increases. Growth deemed good for the Town should enhance the social, environmental, cultural, and economic values of the Town.
