Zoning Office
The Town and Villages are in the process of updating the Hazard Mitigation Plan. Once the plan
is approved by FEMA, the plan is good for 5 years and the town is eligible for disaster-related
funding and cost-savings when receiving disaster-related funds requiring a "match". As the town
embarks on this update process, community input is encouraged and appreciated. To support this,
a brief survey is available for the community to share their concerns and experiences. The survey
can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/3hcj349z
