The Washington Township Board of Trustees updated its Comprehensive Land Use Plan on March 3, 2025, and community input was been a vital part of the process.
First, a community-wide survey was conducted over the summer to solicit feedback about a variety of zoning, development, and infrastructure topics.
Next, Washington Township held an open house in late August to gather feedback and hear directly from residents.
The items and presentations that were shared at the open house can be found below, in the document repository.
What is a Comprehensive Land Use Plan?
A Comprehensive Plan defines land use and development framework for various areas in the Township such as housing, transportation, and economic development.
Ultimately, all the feedback collected from residents was used as recommendations to help guide land use policy, funding, resource decisions, and infrastructure.
