Комплексный план

One of the duties of the Department of Planning and Sustainability is to prepare a comprehensive plan for the development of the County. On March 3, 2015, the Tompkins County Legislature adopted the 2015 Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan (2.98 MB), representing the first full update of the plan since it was first adopted by the Legislature 11 years previously. In 2019, the Department completed the five-year review of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan. As a result of that review, the Legislature adopted a new list of Action Items to continue implementing the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.
 

The Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan presents a vision for the future of the community based on a set of principles that reflect the values of the community as expressed by the County Legislature they have elected. The principles include three that are overarching and reflected throughout the Comprehensive Plan.

Tompkins County should be a place where:

• the needs of current and future generations are met without compromising the ecosystems upon which they depend.
• all levels of government work cooperatively to address regional issues.
• taxpayer dollars are invested in public infrastructure and facilities in the most efficient manner possible.
