The City Council and Mayor need to hear directly from residents about how the new rezoning on Davison Road hurts Lockport’s future. A quick phone call can make a real impact.

Here’s a simple script you can use when calling the Mayor’s office:

“I’m calling because I’m very concerned about the recent rezoning of parcels on Davison Road turning into the new “Mixed Office” district. This decision blocks housing, lowers property values, and limits growth without giving residents like me a real voice.

I believe Lockport deserves better planning that encourages sustainable, walkable neighborhoods and revitalizes vacant properties. I urge you to reconsider this decision and prioritize our community’s future.

Thank you for your time.”

Residents need to speak up to the City Council and Mayor about how the new Davison Road rezoning could harm Lockport’s future. Sending a quick email or making a brief call can make a real difference.

Use the simple script below when contacting the Mayor’s office:

Dear Mayor John Lombardi III and Members of the Lockport City Council,

I am writing to express my deep concern about the recent rezoning of parcels along Davison Road and Professional Parkway. This decision was made with little notice and without meaningful community input.

The new “Mixed Office” zoning blocks housing opportunities, lowers property values, and limits Lockport’s growth—at a time when our city should be encouraging walkable, modern, sustainable neighborhoods. Many of the affected parcels have sat vacant for years, and this change makes it even harder to bring new life to those areas.

As a resident, I believe decisions that shape our city’s future should be made openly and with the community’s involvement, not behind closed doors. I respectfully urge you to reconsider this zoning change and take action that supports Lockport’s long-term growth, competitiveness, and quality of life.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
