The Fairfield County Center for Housing Opportunity has compiled a list of vacant land use commissions in Fairfield County municipalities.
The land use boards, which meet one or more times per month, to review and approve or deny applications related to housing and land use, include planning commissions, zoning commissions, planning & zoning commissions, and zoning boards of appeals.
In the list, if the board is appointed, the link connects you to the application. If no link is provided, the board is elected, and you can contact your town clerk for information. No experience is required, and municipalities provide training to new members.
