Comprehensive Planning
Comprehensive planning is an important step for all local governments. It is the responsibility of the local government to maintain an accurate and up-to-date expression of the community's long-term goals. A Comprehensive Plan can be used to guide capital improvement budgets (road costs, etc.), set up community-wide incentive programs (junk clean up, open space preservation, etc.) as well as to ensure that zoning and other land use tools remain up to-date and reflect the needs and desires of residents.
STC will contract with communities to accomplish the comprehensive planning process. Please contact Jennifer Fais at to set up an appointment to discuss your planning needs and the potential cost to your community.

Town Vision:
Within a generation, one consolidated municipality is formed serving the Three Rivers valley saving taxpayer dollars while retaining the identity of the established communities. In the shorter term, the town government and services would modernize to be ready for the twenty first century. The Town Manager runs an efficient staff who share computerized data bases and are linked electronically to state offices. The Town lowered its tax burden by providing shared services, such as police and highway, with neighboring communities.

The Village of Addison, like so many small villages in upstate New York, is a place in need of positive change. Once a hub of commerce in the mid -1800’s, the Village has experienced substantial population swings since the Industrial Revolution.
This Comprehensive Plan strives to detail the reasons for the Village’s current situation, to project realistic trends, to analyze plausible options and recommend strategies that will stabilize the Village’s economy and help the Village find its niche in the larger Corning – Elmira – Hornell region. The goal of this Comprehensive Plan is to help the Village identify and promote new businesses likely to succeed, help prospering companies continue to thrive and improve the quality of life for Village residents.
The Plan document also has the full Environmental Assessment Form, Negative Declaration and Village Board resolution adopting the plan attached at the end.
