The Borough of Keyport Master Plan focuses on long-range goals for physical, economic, recreational, and community development. It addresses community resilience to hazards like wind, rain, storm surge, and sea-level rise. The plan aims to preserve the town's quality by protecting residential areas, maintaining marine access, and mitigating natural hazard threats. It supports downtown development, aesthetic enhancement, and circulation network upgrades, while also preserving public spaces and historic sites. The plan promotes energy conservation, economic resilience, and environmentally sensitive land use, integrating sustainability and green design principles.

The strategic plan focuses on preserving and protecting existing residential neighborhoods, providing for commercial growth, enhancing the marine and commercial waterfront, and preserving architectural diversity. It recommends retaining existing industrial districts, modifying commercial zone standards, and implementing landscaping, lighting, and sign regulations. The plan also emphasizes a public-private partnership to enhance the waterfront economic base and ensure public access to the bay. It addresses housing policies, fair share obligations, and strategies for improving housing conditions, including code enforcement and capital improvement projects.
