The ZRC, which works to align Ancram’s Zoning Laws with Ancram’s Comprehensive Plan, is currently looking at Ancram’s Zoning law with a view to making it more friendly to affordable housing. Some familiarity with zoning law is a plus but not required and any new member joining the committee will be able to fully participate and ask questions. Since all of us – property owners and residents – are affected by the zoning law, this opening is an opportunity to be on the ground floor of reviewing and revising Ancram’s current Zoning Law.  The ZRC meets every other week on a Monday night via Zoom from 7:00 – 8:30 PM. 

If interested in applying, please send a brief note indicating your interest and some background highlights to carolfalcetti@gmail.com. Applications are open until the positions are filled.
