Comprehensive Plan Schedule Delayed In Horsham

Update: 9:45 a.m. Thursday

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —Residents will have to wait a while longer to check out the township's comprehensive plan.

Township Manager Bill Walker told Patch Thursday that the comprehensive plan's schedule has been delayed.

Walker said there is a delay in getting the draft of the nearly 200-page plan onto the website and to be reviewed by residents.

Officials announced at the Horsham Township Council's Sept. 11 meeting that the comprehensive plan would be available on the township’s website along with printed copies at the Horsham Township Library and Municipal Complex.

The plan —the township’s guide for the next 10 to 20 years —was expected to go before the Horsham Township Council for a vote at its Nov. 25 meeting.

Walker said Thursday that the Council probably won’t consider the adoption of the plan until January or February.

The township held an open house in March to seek feedback from residents.

Through existing conditions analysis and initial public input, the steering committee has identified seven geographic focus areas within the township for further study as part of the comprehensive plan, township officials said.
