BUTTERNUTS – The Town of Butternuts has been working on updating the Town Comprehensive Plan.

The meetings will be held at 6:30 p.m. November 28 at the Butternut Valley Grange, 7 Bloom St, in Gilbertsville.

The current Comprehensive Plan is nearing ten years old and in need of refreshing. The Town Planning Board is the lead for the task. The Town Board has reviewed a Draft Comprehensive Plan, and is now seeking public comment.

A Comprehensive Plan establishes an agreed upon vision of the future. It sets goals and objectives across a number of topics to create a path toward reaching that vision. Finally, the plan includes a focused set of strategic actions that demonstrate how the goals can be achieved. Once adopted, the Comprehensive Plan will act as a guide for local governments and community institutions to work together for the benefit of the residents and business owners.

The Town of Butternuts Planning Board will hold a public meeting to allow residents and those who own or operate businesses in the Town to provide input. While the Village of Gilbertsville is a separate entity, we encourage village residents and business owners to participate as well.
