Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee

Committee created to discuss and review changes made forth by the Village Comprehensive plan. Any new ideas brought forth by this board will be brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees.

WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? A Comprehensive Plan (created in compliance with NYS Village Law) is a document that provides a basis both for land use in the Village and all other future governmental decision-making and acts as a promotional document to those interested in residing or investing in the Village. It will help anticipate and respond to changing conditions, especially those caused by climate change and the information revolution. The plan will utilize sustainable and smart growth practices that integrate social, economic, and environmental considerations to prepare for future needs, while preserving the historical and architectural significance of the community and maintaining or improving the quality of life for its residents. The Comprehensive Plan will be a guide for evaluating proposed projects and programs and for considering amendments to Ballston Spa’s policies, regulations, and local laws.
