Committees

P&Z is essential in directing the community’s growth, development, and land use. The commission’s main goal is to oversee and regulate physical development following established zoning laws, land use plans, and the village’s long-term objectives. They review and provide recommendations on zoning amendments, site plans, subdivisions, and other development proposals, ensuring compliance with the village’s zoning regulations and comprehensive plan.

P&Z meetings are generally held the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00PM at the Jacob C. Ostrander Community Center – 19 S. Main Street.

Please verify meeting dates on the Village Calendar – some meetings move due to holidays.
