What is a Comprehensive Plan?
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A comprehensive plan establishes a vision and set of values for a shared idea of the future and presents a roadmap of the steps to make it a reality. Recommendations in the plan can be used to make decisions about every aspect of Montour County. Generally, a comprehensive plan expresses and regulates public policy on land use, transportation, recreation, utilities, and housing. Used effectively, the completed plan is a way to guide investments, define priorities, and shape policy. It is an official document which will be adopted by the Montour County Commissioners; however, it is not a law and can change to reflect the county's interests.
