The Township Subdivision & Land
Development Ordinance provides for Township review of proposed
subdivision and land development projects, as provided for in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Municipalities Planning Code (MPC).
The Township Planning Commission conducts a thorough review of
proposed projects with the assistance of the Township Engineer.
The Planning Commission then recommends or rejects the plan for
approval by the Township Board of Supervisors. The approval
process consists of three stages, sketch plan, preliminary plan and final plan.
Proposed subdivision and / or land development plans must first
receive sketch plan approval, then preliminary plan approval, then final plan approval.

Ordinance may be purchased at the Township building for $30.00.
