Draft Comprehensive Plan

We’ve been working hard over the past year to update the Town of Cornwall’s Comprehensive Plan—and now we want to hear from you.

This draft plan reflects months of work by the Comprehensive Plan Committee, input from our boards and partners, and—most importantly—feedback from residents through the 2025 community survey. That survey made it clear: people want to stay informed, protect our natural resources , and plan thoughtfully for the future.

You can now review:

• The Draft Comprehensive Plan

• Results from the 2025 Community Survey

Both are available on the Town website.

https://cornwallny.com/Community/Government/Comprehensive-Plan-Committee

We invite all residents to attend the Public Hearing on May 21st and share your thoughts.

Written comments can also be submitted to the Town Clerk’s Office in person or via email - [email protected]

This plan will help guide Cornwall’s future—balancing smart growth , environmental protection , and maintaining the quality of life that makes our community so special.

Your voice matters—take a few minutes to review and be part of the process.

Mayor’s Message [Postponement of Joint Special Meeting with Town Related to Water System]:

Dear Residents and Friends of the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson,

I am making the difficult decision to cancel Thursday’s scheduled Joint Special Meeting that was to conjoin the Village Board and Town Council and was related to water system matters that impact both municipalities. We will reschedule the meeting for Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 7:00 p.m., again to be held at Village Hall, 325 Hudson Street, Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY 12520.

This office will ensure we post the notice across all platforms well in advance of new date.

After careful consideration and discussions with a number of residents who all get their news from different sources, I simply want to ensure we are making a solid effort to publicly notice this meeting on all the appropriate sites. I sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. But far better to take a step back and ensure we have a well-informed community.

On behalf of your Village Board,

James A. “Jimmy” Gagliano
Mayor
