EMPLOYMENT

Hamlet and Neighborhood Commercial Districts, as well as Home Occupations, should be looked into as potential locations to create additional jobs. This would require participation of the public and the business communities and changes in our Zoning Law. My thought is to increase the allowed uses in the Hamlet Commercial and Residential Districts, increase the type of Home Occupations, and add additional Neighborhood Commercial Districts, all of which would increase employment opportunities. In addition to requiring a Special Use Permit, the changes would have to meet other standards so as to maintain the integrity and character of Woodstock.
