New York State strongly encourages all villages to adopt a comprehensive plan, and New York law requires that all village land use regulations must be in accordance with a village’s comprehensive plan. In 2009, the Planning Board was charged by the Board of Trustees to draft a new Comprehensive Plan for the Village that would provide a yardstick for the present Village and a vision for its future development. The primary challenge for the Planning Board was to identify and preserve those qualities of the Village most valued by its residents while simultaneously acknowledging and accommodating change. Following significant input from Village residents, the new Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Village’s Board of Trustees in January, 2014. The document will hopefully serve as a guide to the Village’s future development and be of use to its residents and officials in the years ahead.
The Planning board is currently in discussions for a new Comprehensive Plan. See the Planning Board page for links to the recordings for the planning board meetings.

UPDATE 2/5/25:
The Village’s Planning Board has been tasked by the Board of Trustees with updating the comprehensive plan adopted in 2014 to reflect the changes that have occurred both within and external to the Village since then. The update is an iterative process. Nothing has been decided yet, the Board welcomes resident input, and there is an opportunity for resident comments at Board meetings either in person or via Zoom. The Board will be developing a series of surveys for residents regarding the values and concerns most important to them. This is the first in that series. Please follow the link below to fill out the survey, we appreciate your feedback.
