PRELIMINARY COMMUNITY SURVEY TO PREPARE FOR PEEKSKILL’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The City Manager of Peekskill is interested in working on a Comprehensive Plan for the City and in that effort has started to identify funding streams for this project. One of the funding possibilities is through a State grant.

In the application for State funding, the City Manager is seeking your preliminary comments to show the State that we are interested in having an updated Comprehensive Plan.  Receiving the public’s input at this very early stage is important for the City to submit a strong funding application. There will be many more opportunities to express your views once this project is taken on by the City’s Planning Department.

Thank you for completing this anonymous survey.
