Comprehensive Planning
The primary goal of the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board’s Comprehensive Planning program is to encourage the growth of communities in Central New York in a manner that will provide for the social and economic needs of residents across the entire region. To achieve this goal, work is being directed to the preparation of a strategic plan that will serve as a guide for promoting development opportunities in Central New York. Key issues that will be addressed in this plan include economic development, environmental management, energy conservation, and public resource investments.
As part of the comprehensive planning program, staff is also working directly with individual communities across the five county region on the preparation of comprehensive plans and community revitalization projects. Communities assisted by the CNY RPDB include Fleming, Locke, Niles, Scippio, Fair Haven, Virgil, Hamilton, Phoenix, Pulaski, and Sandy Creek. Other initiatives undertaken by the CNY RPDB include the preparation of the CNY Canal Revitalization Plan and participation in work being done by the NYS Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor Commission.
