Williamsville schedules public outreach for comprehensive plan, updates five‑year capital plan and posts tentative budget online

Village officials told the April 14 work session that the comprehensive plan process will include a public outreach meeting at the end of the month and that Colliers, the consultant, will present at the session.

Why it matters: The comprehensive plan shapes long‑range land use and capital priorities. Officials said the outreach meeting will allow residents to comment on priorities and that the five‑year capital plan staff are preparing will tie grant funding to project projections.

At the meeting, a staff speaker said there is “a meeting on the 23rd at the end of the month” for the comprehensive plan public outreach; organizers asked residents to look for an announcement about the time and location. Village staff said the outreach event will be held in the evening and indicated South High School as a likely venue. Colliers will present a short overview before breakout group sessions.

Separately, staff said Ben and another staff member are preparing a five‑year capital plan presented in an interactive spreadsheet that will show how grants affect budgets and project projections. Officials said the plan is intended to help the board and residents visualize spending and grant effects over coming years.

On budgets, the village posted a copy of the tentative budget online and staff said it maintains compliance with the tax cap. No final budget vote was recorded at the work session.

Next steps: The village will announce the comprehensive plan public‑outreach date/time formally, Colliers will present at the outreach session, and staff will continue developing the five‑year capital plan and present it to the board.
