OVERALL VISION
Over the next 25 years, the county will see a variety of improvements that will connect communities, sustain places, support a
vibrant economy, and implement land use and transportation visions. County priorities are listed below.
Connected Communities
By 2040, the county will take a number of steps to connect communities:
■■ Encouraging more collaboration and partnerships - the county will participate
actively in local and regional organizations while encouraging municipalities
to work together and expand multi-municipal planning.
■■ Improving transportation quality and options—priorities include adding new
Turnpike interchanges; improving the frequency of service on the Norristown,
Warminster, and West Trenton lines; extending the Norristown High Speed
Line to King of Prussia; and making communities more walkable.
■■ Expanding county trails and greenways– expanding the county trail system is
a priority, beginning with completion of the Schuylkill Valley, Chester Valley,
Pennypack, Wissahickon, and Cross County trails.
■■ Supporting strong downtowns and community destinations– making the
county’s downtown areas appealing destinations for local residents, visitors,
and skilled high tech and creative workers is very important.
Strong
partnerships
are critical for
making Montco
2040: A Shared
Vision a reality.
