established January 1968 by the Town Assembly
The Community Planning Committee plans the “physical and cultural future of the community.” It works to plan long- and short-term projects for the village in conjunction with other committees, the Trustees and residents. The committee also has a few non-planning responsibilities, including overseeing the Memorial Garden (cemetery), the Community Gardens on the Sherwood Green (motion: 3/23/15) and implementing the Vacant Dwelling Ordinance 15.
