BROOKHAVEN — Council recently adopted a multimunicipal comprehensive plan with the boroughs of Parkside and Upland.
A task force comprised of representatives of the three boroughs spent three years working on the multimunicipal plan, which provides a 10-year blueprint regarding zoning, community facilities and services, parks and recreation, transportation and economic development.
The planning commissions of the respective boroughs held a public meeting April 28, 2009, and on Oct. 20, 2009, a majority of the respective borough councils held a joint public hearing as required under Pennsylvania law.
“The multimunicipal plan is a valuable tool in aiding decision-making as the borough continues to evolve and change,” reads the resolution.
Councilman Vawn Donaway, who served on the task force, expressed appreciation for the cooperation of the three boroughs. He said there were a few “stumbling blocks” along the way, but the three municipalities worked well together.
Residents may view the multimunicipal plan during regular business hours at the borough business office on Cambridge Drive.
