The Grand Island Town Board Monday night adopted a new town-wide zoning code that is designed to be in-line with the goals of the town's master plan.
"It takes the master plan and puts it into practice," said Councilwoman Mary S. Cooke.

The new code, which was three years in the making, adheres to the comprehensive plan, Supervisor Peter A. McMahon said. "It will help preserve the character and quality of life of the town."

For years, the town's comprehensive plan and zoning code have been out of synch,
McMahon said. The town's comprehensive plan went into effect in the mid-1990s and calls for the creation of a centralized business district, contained exclusively between the north and south Grand Island bridges, with the surrounding area to be residential.
