Comprehensive Plan Committee

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN On August 20, 2025, from 6:00P.M.- 6:30 P.M. at the Woodgate Fire Hall (12445 NY-28, Woodgate, NY 13494), the Town of Forestport Town Board is holding a Public Hearing on the final draft of the Town’s new Comprehensive Plan. The project consultants and the Town Supervisor will be in attendance to answer questions and discuss the project and process. The Town of Forestport Comprehensive Plan is a Town-wide planning document that outlines the community’s vision for the future. It begins with the community’s history and existing conditions, then describes the future of the community and the steps to get there. It provides thoughtful direction for Town leaders on land use, transportation, emergency services, housing, parks and recreation, and natural resources. Recommendations in the Plan include, but are not limited to, developing a strategy to assist seniors with maintaining safe households that support independent living, creating a comprehensive trail map for the Town that delineates snowmobiling, hiking, navigable waterways, multi-use, and ATV trails, and assessing the conditions and lifespans of dams within the Town along the Black River. All members of the public and all interested parties are invited to attend and participate. The Comprehensive Plan will be available for inspection and review at the Town Office during normal business hours, Tuesday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. or online at www.townofforestport.gov, which should be read in their entirety by interested persons.
