This comprehensive update will address some of the most important issues facing our community today and tomorrow.
Rockland County is at a pivotal moment—and your voice is critical in shaping what comes next.
Envision Rockland is an exciting and much-needed update to Rockland County’s 2011 Comprehensive Plan. This plan will serve as a blueprint for the next generation, guiding how our county grows, develops, and invests in its future. Through this process, we’ll work together to build a shared vision—one that reflects the values, goals, and priorities of the people who call Rockland home.
This comprehensive update will address some of the most important issues facing our community today and tomorrow: housing that meets our needs, sustainability that protects our environment, economic development that supports local jobs and businesses, transportation that works for all, and facilities that help communities thrive.
Envision Rockland will provide a long-term roadmap for promoting smart, balanced growth, safeguarding our natural resources, and enhancing the quality of life we all cherish.
But this vision can only be created with your help. I’m urging you—our fellow residents—to join the conversation and help us build a stronger, more vibrant Rockland by weighing in on what matters most to you.
We’ve made it easier than ever to get involved. You can now visit EnvisionRockland.com to share your thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways. Add your suggestions to our Ideas Wall, pinpoint specific issues or opportunities on the Interactive Map, and sign up for updates about public workshops and major project milestones.
This process only works if we have community input. The more people who participate, the more representative and effective the final plan will be. That’s why we need to hear from you—whether you’ve lived here your whole life, just moved to Rockland, run a business, or raise a family here.
If you’ve ever had an idea about improving our roads, preserving our parks and open space, creating more walkable neighborhoods, supporting local businesses, or simply making Rockland an even better place to live—now’s the time to speak up.
I urge you to take just a few minutes today to visit www.EnvisionRockland.com and help shape the future of the county we all call home.
Let’s work together to build a Rockland that serves not only today’s residents—but generations to come.
