Draft Master Plan

Monday, 24 September 2007 02:49

A Master Plan is the principle document used to formulate the contents of the Borough's zoning and sub-division ordinances . A thorough Master Plan also serves as the basis of future planning decisions for proposed capital improvements, program funding, regulation changes and future planning priorities.

During the last several months, meetings have been held in the Community Center to discuss many aspects about our town to include land use, pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow, parking, community resources, Smart Growth and historic preservation, population and housing needs and other important matters that define our town now and in the future.

The September 25th Planning Board meeting has been changed to an open work session to review additional draft Master Plan sections and the public hearing has been moved to October 23rd. Complete draft content is available from the on this page and through the Borough Clerkâs office. Copies will also be distributed at the work session.
The Public Hearing for the Final Draft of the Master Plan in its entirety has been rescheduled to October 23, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Center.

To facilitate consideration of your comments or suggestions regarding the draft sections as they are completed, you are encouraged to provide your thoughts to the Planning Board and/or Ragan Design Group. E-mails may be sent to rdgmgt.rdg@verizon.net prior to the September 25th meeting. The Borough Clerk's office will also accept written comments for the Planning Board and/or RDG.
