HURLEY- A standing-room-only crowd filled the Hurley Town Hall the evening of Tuesday, June 6, to hear a presentation – and offer comments – about the draft version of the town’s “2023 Comprehensive Plan Update.”
More than 100 people listened to the presentation by Town Planner Bonnie Franson, of the firm Nelson Pope Voorhis, and about 25 members of the audience weighed in on the draft, made suggestions and asked questions.
Franson’s PowerPoint presentation can be viewed at tinyurl.com/y3c4xubz.
The Comprehensive Plan draft, a 63-page document, can be viewed at tinyurl.com/ycjkphrw.
The town also is continuing to seek input about the draft from Hurley residents and property owners by way of an online survey, which can be accessed and filled out at tinyurl.com/2hxnm3wa.
Tuesday’s presentation and the online survey are steps in a continuing process toward adopting a new Comprehensive Plan for Hurley, the town’s first since 2006, which proposes a vision for the town for the next 10 to 20 years. Future steps will include discussions by focus groups, interviews with stakeholders, revising the draft based on input, a review by the Ulster County and Hurley Planning Boards, and public hearings.
