Comprehensive Plan Visioning Meeting– Town Hall - September 29 @ 7 PM

Village of Monroe Schedules Public Visioning Meeting

Monroe, NY - September 29, 2022 – 7:00PM

The Board of Trustees of the Village of Monroe will hold the first public meeting to gather public input to be used in updating the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.  The Board recently began the process of undertaking a complete review of its Comprehensive Plan, a process it last undertook in 2012 which resulted in the 2014 Plan and 2017 zoning amendments. The Comprehensive Plan is a document which guides growth in the community by establishing how land should be used, what building sizes and densities are appropriate, what roadway improvements should be made, what community facilities are required and other matters of public policy.  

The Village has begun reviewing existing conditions including demographics, housing data, historic resource data, utilities, zoning, land use, environmental constraints and community service provider input. Mayor Neil Dwyer explained, “we have been receiving a lot of feedback from residents and local business owners about concerns that were not fully addressed in our current Comprehensive Plan. The world has also dramatically changed since the pandemic struck the community in March of 2020, and it is critically important that the Village be prepared to address the challenges of the new world we live in.”

The first step in the process will be to review the "Vision Statement" for the Village as well as the current plan’s goals and objectives. To do this, the Village Board is inviting input by Village residents, land owners, business owners and other stakeholders at an upcoming meeting scheduled for Thursday September 29, 2022 at 7:00 PM at the Town Hall Meeting room at 1465 Orange Turnpike, Monroe NY. All are welcome and encouraged to attend and contribute. Mayor Dwyer continued, “we are thankful that the Town was able to allow us to use the new Town Hall meeting room to reach out to the public. It is important to our Board that this plan begin with input from our Village residents and stakeholders.”
