Town of Fabius | Comprehensive Plan Survey

The Town of Fabius is in the preliminary stages of exploring the development of a Comprehensive Plan through the New York State Department of State Smart Growth Program. A Comprehensive Plan serves as a guide for the Town’s future by helping local officials make informed decisions on land use, infrastructure, and community investments.

Community input is a critical part of this process and will help demonstrate the need for planning efforts as part of the Town’s grant application. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below. Your feedback will help identify community priorities, challenges, and opportunities, and will directly inform the Town’s approach to pursuing funding for a Comprehensive Plan.

This survey is an early step in the planning process. If funding is secured, there will be additional opportunities for public involvement as the plan is developed. Thank you for taking the time to share your input and help shape the future of Fabius.
