A new path 
forward

A Comprehensive Plan is a community's officially adopted playbook for prosperity, drawing upon engagement with residents and stakeholders to establish a collective vision, priorities and action steps for the long range. This process allows a community to discover and articulate shared core values. It will explore questions such as: 

​

• What kind of places are the Town of Chautauqua and Village of Mayville now? What kind of places should they be?

• What makes our community a special place to live, visit and do business? 

• What is important about our local history, natural assets and culture?

• What are the most important problems we can work together to solve?

• What's the best-case scenario for our future, and how can we make it a reality?

​

This project has two main phases that will play out over 18 months. We are currently in Phase I, Listening to the Community. The project Steering Committee and consultant team are working to collect input in a variety of ways, including the Community Questionnaire, interviews, pop-up activities, public events and other methods. This will inform the key issues around which the plan is built: This plan will address what people tell us matters most.
