Help Shape Otsego’s Future: Open House on August 28

FLY CREEK—The Town of Otsego has contracted with the Mohawk Valley Economic Development District Inc. to update its 2008 Comprehensive Plan. A comprehensive plan is a foundational document that guides local policy, land use, and community development. Community input ensures that the plan reflects the needs and values of the Town of Otsego’s residents.

According to officials, this plan will guide future decisions on housing, the economy, natural resources, infrastructure and more. The Town of Otsego and MVEDD invite all Town of Otsego residents to an upcoming Open House on Thursday, August 28 at the Otsego Town Hall, 811 County Highway 26, Fly Creek. Folks can drop in anytime between 5-8 p.m., organizers said.

This will be an open forum for residents to learn about the comprehensive plan and provide input on what they want to see in the town in the future. Residents will have an opportunity to fill out an anonymous survey, speak with the town’s Comprehensive Plan Committee as well as MVEDD staff, and voice their goals, concerns, and desires for the Town of Otsego.

“This event is all about hearing from the community,” officials said in a press release issued on Tuesday, August 5. “Please join us on August 28th to share what you love about the Town of Otsego and what changes you’d like to see. The more input we receive, the stronger the plan will be.”

The town’s Comprehensive Plan Committee is seeking feedback on a range of topics, including housing, tourism, economic development, natural resources, agriculture, historic preservation, parks and recreation, infrastructure, and public safety.
