C'mm~rphPncivP Plan
Highland Falls, New York
The firm was selected by the Village of Highland Falls to prepare a
Comprehensive Plan for the community. The Mllage is located on the
Hudson River in Orange County, just south of the United States Military
Academy at West Point. This Comprehensive Plan was developed with
the Mllage of Highland Falls Comprehensive Plan Committee. The Village
and the abutting Town of Highlands collaborated in a joint Mllage/Town
planning process to identify common issues and objectives such as the
potential use of shared services and a coordinated regional tourism
program. A separate Comprehensive Plan was prepared for the Town
of Highlands.
The Comprehensive Plan consists of a land use plan, recommended
zoning text and map changes, and design guidelines focusing on
the Village downtown area and its entry corridor. The plan calls for
modifications in multi-family development densities, with incentives for
downtown redevelopment and senior and affordable housing. It also
includes recommendations designed to create greater opportunities for
open space and recreation, and capture tourism through the Village's
historic character and proximity to the Hudson River.
