Village Public Officers: Development Board

The Village of Saranac Lake Development Board reviews larger or more complex residential, commercial, and mixed-use development projects within the Village. The Development Board plays an important role in supporting thoughtful growth, protecting community character, and ensuring projects are consistent with Village regulations, adopted plans, and long-term community goals.

The Development Board works closely with applicants, property owners, and design professionals throughout the review process. The goal is to provide a fair, transparent, and collaborative process that helps projects move forward while addressing site design, infrastructure, public safety, accessibility, environmental considerations, and neighborhood compatibility.
