Allentown Comprehensive Plan

Hi everyone,

Well, more interesting tidbits for those of you who love zoning and planning (yes, we are clearly a large group). Allentown has released a draft of their Comprehensive Plan. I attended a breakfast today on the subject, and it was really very interesting. It lays out the benefits and goals of a Comprehensive Plan, sets general principles for the future development and redevelopment of Allentown, and targets eight neighborhoods for specific initiatives.

Click on the link above to get more info about this comp plan. The next steps in the planning process are as follows. This draft is open to public comment, after which the city will revise the plan, as necessary, to reflect the input. From there, the Planning Commission approves the plan, and the plan is then ratified by Allentown City Council.

In terms of public comment, the city is using the internet to accept comments on hte plan. Click on the link above to learn more.
