On May 13, 2026, the Western New York Section of the American Planning Association (WNY APA) recognized the Village of Orchard Park with the 2026 Comprehensive Planning Award at its Annual Awards Event held in Hamburg, New York.
LaBella assisted the Village in developing its first Comprehensive Plan—a milestone effort that establishes a clear, unified framework to guide future growth, revitalization, and preservation of Orchard Park’s distinct small-town character.
The WNY APA Annual Awards celebrate outstanding planning efforts by members and partners across the region. The Comprehensive Planning Award honors initiatives that demonstrate innovation, collaboration, and a strong commitment to a community-driven vision.
