Comments on the draft plan will be taken until February 12th at 6 PM at the public hearing prior to its adoption.
Lower Allen Township 2018 Comprehensive Plan
Lower Allen Township is updating its Comprehensive Plan to identify and prioritize the Township’s strategic goals and objectives for the next 10-year horizon. The plan will identify the top 5-10 key issues or challenges that are present in Lower Allen today and determine an implementation strategy to address each.
- The planning process began in January 2017 and is anticipated to conclude in December 2017.
- The Township has organized a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) to support the planning process. The CAC is comprised of 13 residents who meet monthly with the Township and consultant team to contribute guidance and input.
- The issue identification process will be informed through data collection, stakeholder interviews and focus groups, and a robust community engagement effort.
