It holds the town board accountable to their decisions, helps them in preparing budgets, helps them in capital expenditures, helps them into defining resources that they need to protect and to provide services and programs. All in all, it is an ongoing continuing program that never ends.” Once they’ve completed the tasks, they add other tasks to the document’s priority list. There are three different lists in the planning document. Brand explains, “One is the high priority, those things that we want to accomplish in five years, then we have the medium priority projects to be accomplished by the end of the 10-year planning cycle. The third category is ongoing. Those are the projects that have been underway, exist and will continue to exist. They get tweaked as technology changes, as new ideas come along.” It is no coincidence that Farmington is maintaining its rural charm, while improving its modern amenities. It’s all part of the plan. Although it is known as the “Gateway to Ontario County”, Farmington is a destination all its own.
