Phoenixville Regional Comprehensive Plan |
Six municipalities constitute the Phoenixville Regional Planning Committee (PRPC): Phoenixville Borough and Charlestown, East Pikeland, West Vincent, Schuylkill, and West Pikeland Townships. The Committee began meeting in 2000 to address rapid growth and unprotected agricultural lands in the Phoenixville Region.
In 2008, the Phoenixville Regional Comprehensive Plan was first adopted by the member municipalities to establish goals and policies that guide future land use and growth management in the Region.
