The Town of Jay has received DEC Smart Growth grant funding for a Comprehensive Plan update.

The Town has formed a Comprehensive Plan Special Board (CPSB) to create the Comprehensive Plan update. The Town has hired a consultant to help facilitate the ​process, which will include public engagement, workshops, committee meetings, existing conditions report, inventory and analysis of existing and future land use; ​demographics and economic characteristics; natural systems and environmental resources; public facilities and services; recreation; and housing needs.

The updated Comprehensive Plan will provide recommendations, implementation strategies, and a comprehensive set of maps. The Town’s existing Plan, written in ​1980 and last updated in 1997, does not adequately address the community’s current opportunities, needs, and challenges. The anticipated outcome is a planning ​document that incorporates Smart Growth principles, addresses existing resources, outlines priorities for future development, and better reflects the vision the ​current population has for this Adirondack community.
