Oswego's Future
Oswego Comprehensive Plan [ [link removed] ]
The Village is developing a new Comprehensive Plan to guide growth and investment for the next decade and beyond. This plan will align development with community values, supporting local businesses and enhancing overall quality of life.
Focusing on key areas like housing, transportation, parks, economic development and land use, the plan will bring these priorities together into a single, unified vision. By planning ahead, we can grow responsibly, protect important resources and ensure Oswego remains a great place to live for generations to come.
Community input is essential throughout the process. Through workshops, surveys and public events, residents and stakeholders will have meaningful opportunities to share ideas and help shape a future that reflects Oswego’s shared goals and aspirations.
