How Can I Help?

Five Ways to Get Involved

1. Go to the public meetings of the Cairo Planning Board! They are on the first Thursday of every month at 7pm.

The public hearing for the Blackhead project is currently closed. But all planning board meetings are an opportunity for the public to share its views and learn what’s happening in our area, and your presence is critical. If you can’t come in person (and even if you can), email your questions and concerns to: JHasenkopf@townofcairo.com, planning@townofcairo.com, AND dvollmer@townofcairo.com. Request responses in writing. Please ask for a “positive SEQRA” to protect the residents of Cairo. We will let you know when Blackhead project returns to the meeting agenda!

2. Stay in the loop!

3. Spread the word! 

Share this website on NextDoor, Facebook, and wherever else you think it will be helpful. Send it to your neighbors. Let’s make sure all residents of Round Top, Purling and Cairo know what’s going on!

4. Demand information and transparency from the Cairo Planning Board! 

Demand the Planning Board becomes—and stays—compliant by posting their meeting agendas and minutes in the required timeline. If you have questions, email them and request a response in writing—a phone call won’t be on the record. A full “application record” is now hosted on the Town’s website under the Planning Board page. Please keep in mind that this file is maintained by the developer, NOT by the town. Click Here for a direct link to the application.
