Welcome to the Town of Olive Comprehensive Plan Website
The Town of Olive is preparing a new comprehensive plan and wants to hear from you!
The Town of Olive Comprehensive Plan will express the community’s vision for the future regarding land conservation and development, infrastructure, and community services. A set of policies and specific strategies and recommended actions will help the Town to achieve the collective vision. The Comprehensive Plan will guide the Town Board in updating zoning and other local laws, allocating resources in the annual budget, and aligning Town actions with the adopted policies.
