Harborcreek’s new draft comprehensive plan outlines three main goals for the township — commercial district revitalization, adding alternatives to single-family housing while preserving greenspace, and improving recreation and bike and pedestrian trails.
“We haven’t changed what our mindset has been, for continued, steady, controlled growth,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Tim May. “We’re not looking to plow under grape vineyards to put up a big box store. We’re looking to redevelop the commercial areas we have while still preserving our character and greenspace.”
“In general, we are very happy with where the township is as a community,” said Harborcreek Township Supervisor Dean Pepicello. “The very few changes requested concern preserving commercial districts at the interchanges and Buffalo Road and adding residential options.”
Residents shared their visions for the township in surveys and public hearings last year.
Comments on the draft plan are being accepted in an online survey through Feb. 23.
