Key points

  • Adoption targeted for December 2026 — public hearing, SEQR, Planning Board.

What this section is

Adoption is the beginning, not the end. This section lays out who owns which recommendation, when it's expected to happen, and how we know it did.

The comprehensive plan process (from the Steering Committee)

  1. ✅ Launch (January – March 2026) — Coordinate with project partners, review past plans/projects/data
  2. ✅ Listening (March – May 2026) — Engagement plan, community survey (100+ responses)
  3. ✅ Visioning (May – September 2026) — Public workshop held September 23, 2026 (~40 participants); goal & theme identification
  4. ▶️ Action (September – November 2026) — Develop strategies & actions, implementation plan — we are here
  5. Adoption (December 2026) — Public hearing, SEQR environmental review, Planning Board

Phase dates per the September 23, 2026 workshop slides.

Where we are today

The Town is in the Action phase. Feedback from the September 23 workshop is being compiled, and per the Steering Committee's September 1 agenda the plan is to finalize the Future Land Use Map and the actions by mid-October, then write the plan through November.

See What we've heard for the full workshop recap — the SWOT board, priority themes, vision feedback, and land use map comments.

This is the window where input matters most. Strategies and actions are being written now — comment on any plan section to add yours.

Ongoing review

After adoption:

  • Annual review each January by Planning Board with a short public update
  • Full re-look every 5 years
  • Complete rewrite every 10-15 years
