The revised Plan includes changes in development, conservation and recreation.

This final version maintains the Plan's most defining elements— permanent conservation, protection of wildlife resources, guaranteed public access, a commitment to creating affordable housing and long-term economic opportunities— but relocates considerable development away from sensitive shoreland and into the resort area. It replaces some waterfront lots with conservation, and creates the potential for nature-based tourism on a landscape scale level.
