As part of that process, the Planning Department evaluates development proposals for their contribution towards community planning goals as documented in the current Easthampton Master Plan, and to assess their impacts on the environment, transportation system, and town character.

The Planning Department also oversees several grant programs including the City's Community Development Block Grants.
