Town of Brookhaven Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update

Brookhaven Today - Comprehensive Land Use Plan Video

Welcome

Brookhaven is planning for its future!

 

The Town’s current Comprehensive Land Use Plan was adopted in 1996. Since then, Brookhaven has completed a number of focused studies examining the needs, growth, and character of its many hamlets. This planning effort brings those studies together into one coordinated framework that looks at both town-wide conditions and priorities, and local needs within each of Brookhaven’s six council districts.

 

By understanding the Town’s changing population, environmental conditions, and future opportunities, this update will help create a clear path forward that reflects today’s realities and tomorrow’s possibilities.

​

What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A Comprehensive Plan is both a vision for the future and a blueprint for how to get there. A Comprehensive Plan creates a future framework for a range of topics such as land use, economic development, infrastructure, and housing. The Town of Brookhaven's Comprehensive Plan will identify a vision for the future and outline a series of recommendations and steps to implement that vision.

​

The updated plan will include: 

  • Town-wide goals and strategies

  • Goals and priorities for each of Brookhaven's six council districts

  • A shared, community-driven vision to guide future growth, development and investment throughout Brookhaven 

​​​

Why Update the Plan Now?

Planning ahead helps Brookhaven stay strong, vibrant, and prepared for change.

​

This updated plan will include: 

  • Respond to population and housing needs

  • Support local businesses and jobs

  • Improve roads, infrastructure, and public services

  • Protect natural resources and open space

  • Enhance quality of life across all hamlets and neighborhoods

  • Build a resilient and thriving future for current and future residents, businesses, and visitors

 

​

Who is facilitating this?

The planning process is being guided by the Town Planning and Environmental Department and a Comprehensive Plan Working Group. The process is being facilitated by a consultant team led by MJ Engineering, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Land Surveying, P.C., supported by Bay Environmental, Camoin Associates and Cashin Associates, P.C. 

​

The planning process will be a consensus-driven effort which includes a robust public engagement component to gather input from residents, visitors, business owners, property owners, and other stakeholders in the community. Your participation in this process is vital!
