The Albion Village Planning Board kicked off its 2026 schedule with a swift session on Thursday, Jan. 8, formally closing the book on its December proceedings. Chair Karen Conn called the meeting to order at 5:01 p.m. in the Village Board Room. Board members Jeff Holler and Samuel Robinson were present, along with Chris Kinter, the village’s Chief Executive Officer. With a full slate of board members in attendance, the board’s primary order of business was the formal acceptance of the minutes from their previous gathering held on Dec. 8, 2025. According to the official minutes, a motion was made by Mr. Holler and seconded by Mr. Robinson to approve the December record. The vote carried unanimously with all members in favor. The meeting did not include any public hearings or reviews of site plans, a contrast to the board's typical workload which often involves scrutinizing proposals for development within the village's historic corridors. Following the approval of the minutes, the board wasted little time in adjourning. A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Robinson at 5:02 p.m., just one minute after the session began, and was seconded by Mr. Holler. The Planning Board is scheduled to reconvene next on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at 5 p.m. in the Village Board Room. Residents and developers interested in placing items on the agenda for that meeting are encouraged to contact the Village Clerk’s office in advance.
