HAMBURG COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
We Want to Hear from You!
To create a shared vision and goals, we need to hear from community members. Get involved in the planning process and help guide the future of the Town by considering questions like: What are our housing needs? What kinds of commercial and industrial development do we want to attract and where? How should we manage our community facilities and waterfront? And more!

Why Do We Need a Comprehensive Plan?
There are many benefits of a Comprehensive Plan. A Comprehensive Plan
- helps establish a consensus on community’s vision for the future, which helps guide decisions on how to regulate growth and development (Zoning must be in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan)
- establishes goals and objectives that guide policies, projects and practices
- communicates the Town’s preferences and priorities about capital projects to County, State and Federal governmental agencies
The Town’s last comprehensive planning effort was in 2005. A new Comprehensive Plan will allow us to look at the changes over the past 15 years and look ahead to the future.
Who Is Leading the Development of the Comprehensive Plan?
Town staff, a professional consultant team, and a Comprehensive Plan Committee of Town residents are gathering and evaluating public input and other data to prepare the Plan. All residents of the Town are welcome and encouraged to be involved in the planning process.
How Can I Get Involved?
During 2021, the Town will offer a number of opportunities for residents to provide input, including public meetings. Leave a comment and sign up for email alerts https://www.townofhamburgny.com/comp-plan-team/ to get notified of upcoming events.
An online survey is coming soon!
You can contact your neighbors and friends to let them know of this important project.
What Will the Comprehensive Plan Cover?
The Comprehensive Plan will present the community’s collective vision for the next 15 years, as expressed through a Vision Statement and Goals and Objectives. The plan will gather information
and evaluate conditions versus needs and also recommend specific actions and recommendations. The plan will also consider and be designed to be as consistent as possible with other regional planning documents including the Erie-Niagara Framework for Regional Growth (2006); the REDC’s A Strategy for Prosperity in Western New York (2011, with annual Progress Report updates); the Western New York Regional Sustainability Plan (2012); and One Region Forward: A New Way to Plan for Buffalo-Niagara (2014).
Information will be shared with the public as the Plan progresses and provided on the Town’s website; like the following information
