Town of Gallatin to Hold Open House for Public Input on Comprehensive Plan Update

In order to learn how people feel about the future needs and hopes for the Town, the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee is hosting an Open House on October 2, 2021 at Pavilion E at Lake Taghkanic State Park and people can visit anytime between 10 AM and noon.

This will be an informal community gathering where you can wander among several tables and offer input, see maps, and learn about the planning process in Gallatin. All are welcome to drop by anytime and stay as long as you like during those hours. Your input is important – we want to hear your ideas on issues, concerns, and vision you have for the Town.

The Town of Gallatin has started work on updating their 2009 Town Comprehensive Plan.  The Town Board has appointed a volunteer committee of residents to help update the plan.  The first step in this update will be to hear from residents and landowners.

This open house will be a chance for the Steering Committee to hear the thoughts, opinions, hopes and aspirations of Gallatin residents and landowners in a informal setting. The Committee will follow up later in the year with a town-wide survey.  The updated Plan will be a blueprint to guide the physical growth, land use, recreation, infrastructure and community development for the next 10 to 15 years.

This open house was designed with Covid-19 precautions in mind, and will be an easy and quick way for residents and landowners to participate.  The Committee urges all Gallatin residents and landowners to participate in updating our Town’s Plan.  Help us plan for Gallatin’s future. 

Everyone’s input is important and will contribute to the plan. Please drop by and offer your comments on Saturday, October 2, 2021, anytime between 10 AM and Noon at Pavilion E at Lake Taghkanic State Park. Refreshments will be available.  The Park is located at 1528 Route 82, Ancram, NY  12502 and Park access is also available off the Taconic State Parkway.  For directions to the park see https://parks.ny.gov/parks/laketaghkanic/details.aspx.
