It is recognized that as time progresses, events will occur and new information will become available that was not anticipated or known when this version of the Inlet Town Comprehensive Plan was completed and adopted by the Town of Inlet. Therefore, updates and changes to the plan will be necessary to ensure that the plan continues to be a constructive guide that will lead the Town of Inlet into the future. The Inlet Planning Board, the Inlet Town Board or a Special Board appointed and empowered by the Inlet Town Board should, on each five year anniversary of the adoption of the Inlet Town Comprehensive Plan, or sooner, convene to review and update the plan as necessary and ensure that the updates and revisions conform to the will and expectations of the citizens of Inlet to the greatest extent possible. More frequent updates and revisions should be made as needs dictate.
