Review and Feedback Schedule
Since January, 2024 the City of Lackawanna Department of Development, in partnership with C&S Companies, has been working on a NYS Department of State (DOS) grant-funded project to update / refresh the City’s Zoning Code.
The grant period for this project ends on 12/31/26, at which time all related work must be completed in accordance with DOS guidelines and adopted by the City Council.
