A Comprehensive Plan is a tool used to guide physical and socioeconomic change within a community. It is intended to be broad in scope while establishing general goals policies for such elements as land use, surface water management, public infrastructure (sewer and water supply systems), transportation, housing, park and open space trails. A comprehensive plan is visionary and general, and is to be used to guide future action by the Township. Township actions, such as the Zoning Ordinance and Capital Improvement Plans implement the goals and vision of the comprehensive plan.
