The Comprehensive Plan Committee hosted a Community Engagement Workshop on June 9th at Town Hall as part of the Engaging Amenia project – a comprehensive community outreach initiative designed to gather resident feedback for the Town's Comprehensive Plan update. The workshop was an open house facilitated by the Pace Land Use Law Center.

This process empowers Amenia residents through inclusive engagement to shape the community's future development, preserve its rural character, and address key challenges in housing, business development, natural resource protection, and infrastructure needs.  

Thanks to everyone who participated!
