Planning Board Implementation 

Town Supervisor Amanda Gotto emphasized the comprehensive nature of this change: “We are thrilled to introduce this innovative solution that will revolutionize how our land use boards function. By partnering with MuniCollab, we are not only making the application and review processes more efficient for our staff and residents but also setting a new standard for accessibility and transparency in local government.”

Complete Review Lifecycle Integration

The Town’s implementation covers the entire spectrum of land use review—from initial application submission through final decision-making. This end-to-end approach ensures that every stakeholder has access to the same information and can track progress in real-time.

Key improvements residents experience:

  • Simplified Application Process: Streamlined submissions for Planning and Zoning matters
  • Enhanced Collaboration: Better communication channels between applicants, town officials, and the public
  • Document Accessibility: Easy access to crucial documents and decisions
  • Process Transparency: Clear visibility into review progress at every stage

Supporting Thoughtful Community Growth

The Town of New Paltz’s adoption of MuniCollab aligns with their strategy of leveraging technology to better serve residents while fostering sustainable community development. This digital transformation creates a more engaged, informed citizenry through enhanced access to the planning process.

The platform is particularly valuable for the Town’s Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, which handle critical decisions about community development and land use that shape the Town’s future character and growth patterns.
