Zoning rewrite delayed after consultant health setbacks; board pushes to speed work
Summary
Town officials said the Colliers consultant team has faced medical delays and that the board is pressing to get the zoning rewrite back on schedule, with a target to complete major work within the contract period (through 2027–2028).
Residents asked why Lansing's zoning rewrite is taking longer than originally expected. Officials acknowledged the delay and said the consultant team (Colliers) has been hampered by unforeseen medical leaves; one official noted a key consultant "Molly" had emergency surgery and the team needed to re-sequence work.
Board members said they remain intent on finishing the zoning update in the near term and are pressing the consultant. The town plans additional public sessions and staged outreach and said hiring a new in-house planner (starting Aug. 17) will reduce reliance on higher-cost consultant services and help keep future phases on track.
