OGDENSBURG - Ogdensburg City Council is hoping to get public input on development ideas for downtown planning.

The goal is to better position the city as it identifies grant, planning and development opportunities.

“Public input plays an important role in the creation of the community’s vision and goals and in the identification of projects,” Mayor Michael Tooley. “We are hopeful that getting an earlier start with public engagement will prove useful throughout the upcoming grant writing cycle.”

An introductory public meeting for Ogdensburg residents and business owners will be held in the City Council Chambers on Wednesday, March 13 at 6 p.m. 

At the meeting the city will review upcoming grant opportunities and timelines, and collect contact information from residents and business owners that may be interested in participating in a Strategic Planning Committee.

It is anticipated that the Strategic Planning Committee will meet monthly through July along with public meetings to provide inclusive public input on potential projects within the city’s downtown and throughout the community for funding applications. The March 13th meeting will also be available for virtual participation,” a press release from the city says.
