ZONING LAW ADOPTED

After carefully considering the draft presented by the Zoning Commission and the comments of hundreds of town citizens the Town Board adopted the town's first zoning law at the June 2009 board meeting.

Many thanks to everyone who helped shape a fair and balanced law that will help preserve the unique character and the precious environmental resources of our town.

The Town will soon begin accepting applications for positions on the newly created Zoning Board of Appeals. Details will be forthcoming shortly.
