T. Middletown, V. Margaretville, V. Fleischmanns Joint Comprehensive Plan Public Survey

The purpose of this community survey is to understand the values, needs, and priorities of residents, property owners, businesses, and stakeholders in the Town of Middletown, the Village of Margaretville, and the Village of Fleischmanns. The feedback collected will be used to inform and guide an update to the joint Comprehensive Plan for all three municipalities. While this project differs from the local NY Forward and DRI efforts of recent years, the Joint Comprehensive Plan will build upon and complement those on-going initiatives.

This survey may be completed online or on paper. Completed paper surveys may be returned to: The Town or Village Offices.
