The City of Troy has engaged a team led by River Street Planning & Development to review, rewrite and update Troy's zoning/land management code. The update will involve assessing the City's overall economic health, existing built form and function, and natural environment. Streamlined and straightforward regulations will be developed to express local vision and goals and stimulate high-quality investment. Troy's new code will be streamlined, cohesive, equitable, and easier to understand and administer.
Please check back as the project moves forward for links to project documents and materials.
Additional links to project documents, field studies, meeting notes, and other materials will be posted as the zoning update gets underway.

Catskill DRI Vision and Goals
The following Catskill DRI vision and goals have emerged with public input to help shape the Catskill DRI:
"Drawing on its history as a crossroads of the Upper Hudson Valley, Catskill will be a vibrant, active community that provides opportunity for all. Catskill will be affordable and accessible to people and families of all income levels and backgrounds while retaining its small-village character, natural beauty, and culture of care, inclusion, and creativity."
-
Goal 1: Housing Affordability - Address the local affordability crisis by building new homes at a range of price points, including options affordable to those earning the village's median salary, and improving existing homes.
-
Goal 2: Downtown Assets: Invest in the unique assets of the downtown area, its businesses, and Catskill Creek to draw more residents and visitors.
-
Goal 3: Community Spaces - Expand and improve accessible, affordable community spaces that serve Catskill youth, families, and seniors.
-
Goal 4: Streetscape and Mobility - Beautify streetscapes, improve wayfinding and accessible pedestrian infrastructure, and make it easier for residents and visitors to get around Catskill and age in place.
