Who We Are

The Master Plan is facilitated by a Steering Committee, comprised of various township representatives from the Little Falls Planning Board and Administration.

• Mayor James Damiano
• Walter Kilpatrick - Planning Board Chairman
• Anthony Sgobba - Township Council President
• Charles Cuccia - Township Administrator

• James DiMaria - Zoning Official
• Vince Quatrone - Assistant Township Administrator

H2M Associates and THA Consulting are assisting Little Falls in the development of the Master Plan.

What is a Master Plan?

A Master Plan provides a guide for the future development of a community. It serves as a comprehensive approach to planning issues and considers many factors impacting a community’s economic development needs.

The Master Plan gives the community the legal basis for control over future development, as well as land use planning policy and zoning changes. Most changes are implemented in the form of zoning amendments and land development ordinances.

Why is the Township doing a new Master Plan?

The last time the Township completed a new Master Plan was over two decades ago, in 2002. The way people live, travel, and do business has changed tremendously since then. We need a new planning document to guide land use policies, development, and infrastructure improvements to respond to our current and future needs. 

What is covered by the new Master Plan?

The new Master Plan includes the following elements: Goals and Objectives, Land Use, Circulation, Parking, Economic Development, Sustainability, and Open Space.

In addition to the elements of the Master Plan, a number of community engagement events are being planned where residents, business owners and other interested people will be given the opportunity to participate in the planning process.

How can I participate?

Valuable insight into the Master Plan will be collected through the Master Plan survey on this webpage and through participation at community workshops and events. The survey page is currently open to responses, and you will be able to participate in the public outreach phase of the process by attending the community workshop that are scheduled to take place in the fall at the Little Falls Civic Center.
