Zoning Board News and Agenda

The Village encourages public engagement as part of the zoning process, and the current situation limits residents' ability to meaningfully comment on site plans.  As such, the Village will be postponing the applications for the cannabis dispensary and transporting organization until we're able to fully engage our residents on the topics.  We will reschedule the meeting once we're able to safely accommodate public comment on these topics.  Notification of the date will be posted on our website at that time.
