About The Peekskill Plan
The Peekskill Plan is a community-driven effort to create a new Comprehensive Plan to guide the city’s future growth and development. Once completed and adopted, The Peekskill Plan will replace the city’s last Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 1981.
Together with residents, community organizations, businesses, and local leaders, the plan will shape key priorities including land use, housing, transportation and traffic safety, economic development, and sustainability.
The Peekskill Plan is an opportunity to build on Peekskill’s unique character – its waterfront, neighborhoods, topography, and creative economy – while improving quality of life for all. Grounded in community input and Smart Growth principles, The Peekskill Plan will serve as a roadmap for a more vibrant, connected, and resilient city.
