Hi Neighbors -
Please join the Newfane Planning Commission this Thursday, January 11 to hear the Windham Regional Commission's Sue Westa and Mike McConnell share their recommendations for updates to our Zoning Bylaw to support increased housing access in Newfane.
The Windham Regional Commission has reviewed Newfane's Zoning Bylaw and housing types and availability in Newfane; led a walking tour of Newfane village and discussion of housing needs; and participated in public discussion on this topic at two Planning Commission meetings. They will be discussing recommendations that come out of this work at our regular Planning Commission meeting on Thursday.
Here are the zoom link and agenda for this week's meeting, Thursday, January 11 at 6:30 p.m. You are welcome to join us on zoom or in person at the Newfane Town Office.
