Town of Tonawanda Zoning Hearing April 9

Last night the Town of Tonawanda Town Board voted to move ahead with a public comment hearing for the town’s comprehensive zoning amendment on Tuesday April 9 at 7pm at the Municipal Building at 2919 Delaware Avenue in Kenmore. Very likely, the vote to approve, table or deny the approval of the draft will follow directly after the hearing.

Please note that while the Town Board normally meets on Mondays, this hearing and meeting is on a Tuesday due to the eclipse on the 8th.

Clean Air encourages all residents of the Town as well as neighboring municipalities to attend and speak out, either about the draft under consideration for approval, or for land use issues that you would like the Town Board to consider in the future.
