Comprehensive Plan Update

The Town of Lyndon Plan Commission is working along side a newly appointed group, Comp Plan Ad Hoc Committee (CPAHC) to update the Comprehensive Plan.  The plan was originally written and adopted in July 2004, and was updated June 2015.  Currently, the Town Board has asked the PC and the CPAHC to update the entire plan, rather than submitting an update for approval.  The two commissions are meeting the first and third Wednesday of every month at 7 pm, and the public is welcomed and encouraged to attend.

The Plan Commission members are Chair David Roll, Vu Vang, Beverly Weigel, Al Steiner and Adam Redlich.  The Comp Plan Ad Hoc Committee members consist of TB Chair JoAnne Friedman, TB Supervisor David Eisentraut, Residents Jason Dahm, Mike Krubsack and Dwight Darrow.  PC members will receive their usual salary of $50 per meeting, and CPAHC members will receive $25 per meeting.

I, Clerk/Treasurer Klatt, will update this page as time allows with any updates, comments from residents, or links to other website pages containing documents and/or minutes.  For the complete 2004 plan, as well as the update, please click here.
