From the press release by the city:
The City of Newburgh has retained Buckhurst Fish & Jacquemart, Inc. (BFJ Planning) to complete a Future Landuse Plan. This exercise is the second component of the Sustainable Master Plan adopted in December 2008. All are invited to attend a public meeting May 26 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the role of the future Landuse Plan and the work completed to date. The meeting will be held at 123 Grand Street in the Heritage Center.
By State law all landuse regulations must comply with an adopted master plan. Therefore, this will set the stage for major revisions or a complete rewrite of the City’s land use regulations.
