Land use planning and implementation

Our Land Use initiative is focused on working with partners to advocate for strengthening regional land use planning and implementation, and at the same time, developing an education and technical assistance program to improve Pennsylvania’s unique approach to multi-municipal planning. Our near-term focus is on helping communities better manage change, combat fiscal distress, and invest in the future by strengthening the role of county planning, ensuring greater consistency between plans and ordinances, and giving communities additional tools to manage sustainable growth.
