Projects and Announcements
The Town of Buchanan is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan.

Considered a "living" document, the Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for the future and is typically updated every five (5) years. This project is currently being led by the Planning Commission, but citizens are strongly encouraged to participate by providing feedback through the following:
