Dauphin County is planning for the future.
The county announced Tuesday that it has begun drafting a long-term comprehensive plan that will guide land use planning for the next 10 years.
To aid in planning, the county is asking residents of all 40 municipalities to complete a brief survey to help determine public priorities.
The county’s planning commission will also host public meetings with local officials and stakeholders early this year. Those who are interested can find event information on the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission’s website and on social media.
Dauphin County Planning Coordinator Jerry Duke said that the input from residents will help set priorities and identify issues like housing, transportation, economic development, land use and environmental sustainability.
“It will also ensure that as we shape the Comprehensive Plan, it will reflect the community’s values and guide decisions that affect our growth and quality of life,” Duke said in a statement.
The plan is expected to be completed in 2027. Dauphin County creates new comprehensive plans every 10 years.
