Envision Rockland Final Draft Released
County Seeks Public Input
NEW CITY, NY—After 18 months of planning, County Executive Ed Day, County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr. and the Rockland County Planning Department have released the final draft of Envision Rockland, an update to Rockland County’s 2011 Comprehensive Plan. The revised plan is intended to guide the county’s growth and development over the next generation.
The county collaborated with residents, community organizations, municipal leaders, stakeholders and members of the project’s Working Group throughout the planning process. As part of its continuing effort to gather public feedback, the county will hold two public hearings on the final draft plan. The first is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, and the second for Tuesday, Aug. 4. Both meetings will begin at 7 p.m. at the Allison-Parris County Office Building, 11 New Hempstead Rd., New City.
“Community input has been at the heart of the Envision Rockland planning process from the very beginning,” said County Executive Ed Day. “We encourage residents to review the Final Draft Plan and share any final feedback as we move toward adoption. Thank you to everyone who has contributed their time, ideas and expertise throughout this important effort. Your participation has helped shape a vision that reflects the priorities of Rockland County, and we look forward to keeping the public informed as the process moves forward.”
The updated comprehensive plan addresses a range of priorities, including land use, housing, transportation, economic development, parks, infrastructure, community services, and cultural, historic and agricultural resources. The final draft outlines proposed improvements and provided a roadmap for implementing them. Under the current timeline, the plan’s recommendations are expected to be implemented over the next 10 to 15 years.
