Introduction

       The Village of Webster has grown from an isolated hamlet, the center of a thriving

agricultural community, to a busy suburban community and the home to a major Xerox

Research and manufacturing complex. Much of this change has taken place in the last

50 years, and now the Village is in the midst of further changes as we begin the 21st century.

 

          Facing these changes as a community we must ask ourselves, “Is the Village of Webster

developing in a way which best suits our present and future needs? What is our community’s

vision for the future?” This Comprehensive Plan represents a collective community effort

to address these concerns. This document describes our present status, presents our vision

for the future, and recommends changes to policies and ordnances to help realize our vision.

These topics are discussed in the chapters “Where We Are,” “Where We Want To Go,” and

“How We Will Get There.”

 

          This document was originally created by the citizens of the Village of Webster in the

spring of 1995.  A detailed Community Comprehensive Plan Survey was sent to the

residences, businesses, and property owners in the Village. The results were used extensively

in the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan that was adopted March 1998. The 1998

Comprehensive Plan is being revised to reflect changes that have taken place both in and

around the Village of Webster.
