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.

Meet The Peekskill Plan Resident Advisory Committee (RAC)!
The RAC is a group of 12 community members who were selected through an open public application and lottery process. These residents will provide insight from lived experience, local knowledge, and neighborhood perspectives throughout the development of The Peekskill Plan. RAC members will participate in meetings, review materials, and serve as ambassadors to the broader public.
The official announcement was made July 13th at the Common Council meeting by the City's Director of Planning & Development.
Applicants who were not selected for the Committee will have the opportunity to participate in other ways, including as Community Ambassadors and through upcoming public meetings, workshops, and office hours.
