In accordance with Initiatives for a Smart Economy 2.0, Erie County’s Department of Environment and Planning (“DEP”) is assisting municipalities with comprehensive plan updates that are consistent with One Region Forward principles. The updates are funded by federal Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) dollars and will assist thirteen local governments with updates to their comprehensive plans.
Comprehensive plans provide a framework for creating livable, healthy communities as well as resilient economies, social equity, and strong regional ties. Each comprehensive plan will contain recommendations and implementation plans for the development, preservation, and enhancement of residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhoods as well as public facilities and infrastructure.
See below for the status of towns and villages conducting Comprehensive Plan updates:
