Public Input Needed on Draft of Township Comprehensive Plan

A Township Comprehensive Plan is a document that outlines a plan for the proposed development of the community as well as a guide for conservation of features that are valuable to protect. It is recommended that comprehensive plans be updated every 10 years. Haverford Township last fully updated its Comprehensive Plan about 30 years, but in 2019 the Board of Commissioners hired a consultant and appointed a steering committee to undertake an update. The process has been delayed as have many other things by the Covid-19 outbreak, but a draft was recently been published by the committee for public viewing.

Supporting Documents

The first opportunity for public comment on the Plan will be at the June 9th Planning Commission meeting. There will likely be a least one other Planning Commission meeting at which the Plan will be discussed, before the Planning Commission passes its comments on to the Board of Commissioners for their adoption next fall.
