COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FORLOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors recently appointed a committee to develop a new comprehensive plan for our township.
Feasterville Business Association has appointed a commitee to represent the interests of local businesses throughout this process. Ed MacConnell has agreed to chair this commitee.This commitee will be reaching out to the businesses of Feasterville, Trevose, Oakford and all of Lower Southampton to solicit their feedback. Your feedback is important to us! This is the opportunity for all businesses in the township to activate and get involved...the future of your business may depend on it! A comprehensive plan is not just a document, it is a process. To summarize, the planning process consists of making surveys, data collection, analysis and projections, problem identification; setting goals and objectives as evaluated by the townships citizens. This process results in a comprehensive plan that is not a legal document nor is it a land use ordinance, however it can and should be adopted. It is an overall plan embracing general goals and objectives with which a governing body agrees to observe in making day-to-day decisions. It can assist the governing body when applying for grants and other funding. It is a document that states basic objective and policies that guide future growth and development. The previous comprehensive plan was drafted in 2003, and this plan required updating.. Due to this fact, the Board has made the decision to draft a new, more thorough plan to project Lower Southampton into the next decade. Lower Southampton has hired Michael Solomon, an experienced planner to direct the process and formulate the comprehensive plan. Any direct questions can be directed to Carol Drioli, x309, at the township office (215-357-7300). We are encouraging all FBA members, and in fact all township businesses to get involved in this process. Our commitee will bring the gathered information to the Board of supervisors to represent your best interests! Please contact Ed MacConnell today to be included in the process and have your voice heard! (215)947-5471. Click here to download and review the new comprehensive plan...
