The Greenport Town Board has established a Zoning Commission to develop a Zoning Ordinance for our community. The Commission holds public meetings at Town Hall on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM. Our goal is to protect Greenport’s neighborhoods from incompatible development. A basic land use plan could, for example, prevent a new institutional facility from being built next to private homes, or stop a large resort hotel development on Mt. Merino. We do not want to constrain current or new design, style, or decoration in any way.

We will prepare a preliminary report, which will be presented in public hearing(s) for community input. Based on that feedback, we will revise the draft and submit a final report to the Town Board. Before any zoning plan is adopted as a Zoning Ordinance, the Board will provide public notice and hold a formal hearing.
