How to Submit Comments on Cranston's Comp Plan Draft, Online
For the last couple of months we’ve been wondering what kind of functionality was going to be built into Cranston’s web site to enable online feedback on the city’s comp plan. A draft of the plan made its debut on the city’s site back in early June, but a formal place to offer input has not followed.
Today, Principal Planner Jason Pezzullo clarified that the planning department will be accepting comments through the existing contact forms on the Cranston city site. The feedback will be recorded and included in the comp plan. To submit input on the plan, use one of the following forms:
Peter Lapolla, Director
Jason Pezzullo, Principal Planner
In addition to the emails, the public can comment on the plan at the weekly workshops, which will begin on July 16. To help facilitate the conversation, the workshops have been moved to the Senior Center at 1070 Cranston Street. All the meetings will start at 6 PM.
