Borough Plans

An important function of a second-class borough is to create and implement plans, essential blueprints for how the borough develops and grows over time. Plans typically includes a number of components, such as land use maps, zoning regulations,  infrastructure plans, economic development goals, and strategies for maintaining community services and facilities. They serve to guide development within the borough in a way that is consistent with the needs and values of local residents, while also promoting sustainable growth and responsible stewardship of the area's natural resources.

Creating a borough plan is typically a collaborative process that involves input from a wide range of stakeholders, including elected officials, community leaders, business owners, and residents. Once a plan is developed and approved, it becomes a guiding document that is used to inform future decision-making. Over time, a plan may be updated or revised as needed to reflect changing community needs and priorities.
