Volunteers Wanted for Vision Plan
The Village is about to begin the process of creating a Vision Statement, leading to a revised Comprehensive Plan. These programs will take community input and craft a vision of what the community wishes Greenwich to be in the future. The existing Comprehensive Plan for the Village dates to 1972.
Helping craft the vision statement will be The Center for Community Design Research, a component of the SUNY School of Environmental Science and Forestry.
If you're interested serving on a joint committee with students and faculty from the Center for Community Design Research, please contact David Doonan or Diane Kelley at 692.2755.
The program is being funded by a $20,000 grant from the Historic Saratoga-Washington on the Hudson Partnership.
All are invited to participate in a series of workshops and meetings to create a vision plan for our community. The workshops will provide an opportunity for all members of the community to share their ideas and concerns about Greenwich.
Join with your family, friends and neighbors to help set the direction for the future of Greenwich. Even if you are not able to attend all of the sessions, come to as many as you can
The workshops will be facilitated by graduate students from the Landscape Architecture program at SUNY-ESF.
For more information, review either the Visioning Diagram or an Overview of the Vision Planning Process.
