COMMUNITY SURVEY FOR POTSDAM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO BE MAILED NEXT WEEK--Village Planning and Development Director Fred Hanss on Wednesday told the committee writing the 10-year guiding land use and quality-of-life document the survey created with the help of the SUNY Potsdam Center for Applied Research is more or less ready to go; a mechanism has been set up so more than one person in a household can respond, for example a husband and wife. The survey is a means of gathering input; the committee decided to distribute it next week to allow the SUNY Potsdam community to return from semester break.
