To promote the general welfare of the Town of Cummington, to protect the health and safety of its inhabitants, to encourage the most appropriate use of land within the Town, to retain our natural resources, to maintain the agricultural and rural character of the Town, to reduce the hazard from fire by regulating the location and use of buildings and the open spaces around them and to protect, conserve and increase the value of property, the Town of Cummington, under the authority of the Zoning Act, does hereby enact this By-Law. All such regulations and restrictions contained in these Zoning By-Laws shall be uniform for each class or kind of buildings, structures or land, and for each class or kind of use, throughout the district.

In the event that any section or provision of this By-Law should be decided by the courts or by the Attorney General to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decisions shall not affect the validity of the By-Law as a whole of any part thereof other than the part so decided as being unconstitutional or invalid.
