MASTER PLAN PROCESS
The existing Comprehensive Development Plan (Master Plan) is being rewritten. The planning process will consist of public input workshops, educational sessions, draft plan review, and eventually adoption of a new Plan. This Plan guides the future development in the Village and is the basis for many decisions regarding ordinances, especially the zoning ordinance.
It will be very important to gather input from all stakeholders in the community. For those interested in taking part, please keep checking back for dates and times of meetings regarding this important process.
