PLAN OVERVIEW

Preserving Our Past, Securing Our Future

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a guide for future development in the Township. The document begins with current conditions within the Township as to land use, zoning, population and environmental conditions and includes the desires of the residents and stakeholders regarding future growth.
