Economic and Community Development Plan Committee:
The Village/Hancock Partner's Inc. appointed an eleven (11) member Economic and Community Development Plan Committee in mid-November of 2007 to prepare the Plan and lead the public participation process.
The Process:
The first public workshop included a Community Character Survey™ conducted by Planit Main Street, Inc., was held on November 14, 2007. The Economic and Community Development Plan Committee will be meeting monthly during the process of completing the Plan. The final draft Economic & Community Development Plan was completed on November 1, 2008. Two (2) public hearings will be held on the draft Economic and Community Development Plan. Following the public hearings, the final Plan will be completed along with the State Environmental Quality Review Act environmental review documents. The Village Board will then make a decision regarding the adoption of the Plan.
How Do I Get Involved?
The Committee met monthly at the Hancock Central School Cafeteria and/or Museum to work on the creation of the Economic and Community Development Plan. These meetings were open to the public. The public was invited to contribute to the effort by attending public workshops that were held periodically by the Committee. We were fortunate to have a number of interested residents who contributed their ideas throughout the process. Public participation is a vital component of a successful Plan and your input on the draft Economic & Community Development Plan is welcome.
