South Whitehall is entering Phase 4 of the Comprehensive Plan Update with a virtual kickoff meeting on Wednesday, March 31st from 6-8PM. In collaboration with the community, the Township has been working to update the 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Phase 4 Virtual Kickoff Meeting will provide an update on the comprehensive plan process and an opportunity to learn more and sign up for the Phase 4 Working Groups.

Phase 4 is focused on identifying, discussing, and developing recommended actions, policies, and programs to be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan Update. These draft recommendations will be developed through the community volunteer Phase 4 Working Groups – reflecting five major topic areas of the comprehensive plan process that align with the required PA Municipal Planning Code (MPC) sections:

• Housing;

• Transportation [multi-modal; transit; vehicular];

• Community Facilities [parks and recreation; education; emergency services];

• Community Utilities;

• Resource Protection [agriculture, environmental, and historic resources].

At the March 31st Phase 4 Virtual Kickoff Meeting, the community will:

• Receive an introduction to Phase 4 from Township staff,

• Review the Phase 4 Working Group process

• Engage in up to three breakout sessions to learn more about the five working group topics – Housing, Transportation, Community Facilities, Community Utilities, and Resource Protection.

• Sign up to participate in the future voluntary Phase 4 Working Groups.

Phase 4 of the Comprehensive Plan Update is being facilitated by Michael Baker International, Inc. The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission (LVPC) is engaging as a subject matter expert to provide insights on the five Phase 4 Working Group topics.

Stay tuned for links to the virtual meeting information. Recordings of the meeting, including all breakout sessions will be provided digitally.
