Citizen Participation in the Comprehensive Plan

The decisions made collectively during this citizen-directed process will help determine the course of future growth, and establish the proper balance between development, protection of the environment, and open space preservation. On Tuesday, November 13, 7:00 to 9:30 PM, we will host an Issues and Opportunities Workshop at Town Hall. In addition to a presentation on the planning process, there are a number of fun and interactive exercises which will help us to both identify and prioritize the issues that will be addressed in the Plan’s development.
The Town has hired professional planners with national expertise in the preparation of Comprehensive Plans for communities both large and small. They bring to us many tools that have worked well in other communities, but we need the experience of local residents to help inform this process and ensure that this will be a plan that Brookhaven residents will be proud of and able to help implement in the years to come. We need you.
The Town hopes you will accept this invitation and join us for an exciting evening. We also hope you will come back to other workshops planned for January, March, and May, in order to ensure a high level of citizen input and participation in the Comprehensive Plan development process.
