The Town of Chenango Comprehensive Plan Committee is reviewing extensive 2026 community survey responses and a visioning survey summary as part of a broader comprehensive plan update. Comments in the record reference issues such as overdevelopment, rezoning, commercial growth, solar farms, aging infrastructure, flooding, homelessness, and the need for more development and services, indicating that land use, infrastructure, and community facilities policies are being reconsidered. Because the plan is still in the discussion and visioning stage, no specific projects or vendors have been chosen yet, but the update will likely drive future zoning changes, infrastructure investments, and potential solar and other energy-related projects.This creates a pre-RFP window for firms that support comprehensive planning, infrastructure and utility master planning, flood mitigation, housing and homelessness strategies, and renewable energy siting to offer technical assistance, studies, and implementation roadmaps as the Town moves from survey input into draft policies and a capital project list.

Survey content highlights recurring themes: solar development siting, commercial corridors, emergency services, schools, flooding, homelessness, and perceived lack of development; these will likely inform future zoning and capital priorities.
