The Town of Lyons is updating the its 1998 Lyons Comprehensive Plan and needs your help! Through an extensive public participation process, the Town and its team is gathering information to create a collective community vision for the future of Lyons. This website will help you find out how to be involved via the public meetings, online participation, and the "EnvisionIn' Lyons" project, which asks residents to be creative and submit art, writing, photography, video, music and more!
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
Comprehensive Plans capture a community's vision for the future, and provide guidance for growth and change. The Town of Lyons' Plan will address: future land uses; community character and image; economic development; public facilities; services and infrastructure; transportation; history, culture and education; housing; parks, open space, trails and tourism; and environmental sustainability.
