Welcome
to the Town of Ithaca Comprehensive
Plan update website.
The Town’s Comprehensive Plan Committee has completed a revised draft of
the updated Plan, which is now available for public review and comment. This draft Plan, an update to the Town’s 1993
Comprehensive Plan, offers a framework for guiding future growth and
development in the Town over the next 10 to 15 years. It was developed using input from Town
residents and stakeholders gathered from a survey and numerous meetings held
over the last several years. The draft
Plan maintains the Town’s priority for ensuring protection of farmland and open
space while also ensuring the quality and livability of the Town’s business and
residential neighborhoods. Below is the online version of the Draft Town of
Ithaca Comprehensive Plan. You can view
