Ulysses United.

ULYSSES 2025-2045, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PERIODIC UPDATE: 

The Town of Ulysses is in the planning process of its periodic update to the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is one of a Town's most important documents. It defines the community's vision, goals, and policies, and sets the framework for future public and private investments.

The Town Board is responsible for the preparation and adoption of the comprehensive plan update and is authorized under State Law to appoint a special board directed to prepare the update to the 2009 Comp Plan. The Town Board appointed the Comp Plan Steering Committee (CPSC)  to advise and guide the development of the Town's Comprehensive Plan Update. The Committee is a broad representation of the community, and Committee members will serve as liaisons to their respective groups and organizations to help encourage community participation in this planning process. The Committee will aide in developing a plan to focus on the next 20-year period for the Town and will help provide perspective on information gathered as well as feedback on draft policies and implementation actions. 

Public input is critical to ensuring that the Comprehensive Plan reflects the current vision and goals of the community. Throughout this planning process, there will be opportunities for the public to engage. The Committee conducted public hearings at the beginning of each meeting. Between December and March, the committee held two meetings a month and allowed the public to speak at each. The goal of the committee meetings was to gather community input to identify services needed by the community, review existing land use patterns and practices, and present a plan with recommendations to the Town Board.

The Steering Committee referred the Comprehensive Plan to the Town Board. Check the Town’s events calendar for upcoming Town Board meeting dates and agendas. They generally conduct public meetings twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays.
