Why create a new Comprehensive Plan now?

The Town of Kingsbury last prepared a Comprehensive Plan in 1973, along with the Village of Hudson Falls. In the nearly 50 years that have elapsed, the Town has undergone significant land use and economic changes, resulting in both positive and negative consequences. Under the current Town Board, the Town has embarked on seeking numerous funding initiatives related to comprehensive planning to enhance Kingsbury for residents, business owners, and visitors. With community planning funding awarded from the Hudson River Valley Greenway, and anticipated funding from the New York State Department of State, the time is right for Kingsbury to redevelop the Comprehensive Plan, to establish a long-term vision which is relevant and viable for residents and all in the community which considers the community’s current Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

Your input and insights are extremely important to this process.

PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO TAKE OUR BRIEF SURVEY HERE.
