a shared vision

Sustainable Places
By 2040, the county will take a number of steps to sustain places:
■■ Supporting a modernized infrastructure network - improving county roads and bridges and advocating for other
infrastructure providers to modernize their systems are priorities.
■■ Improving stormwater management - implementing the county’s MS4 permit requirements and completing the required
ACT 167 stormwater management plans are priorities.
■■ Conserving natural resources - improving county parks, protecting conservation areas, and continuing the farmland
preservation program are extremely important.
■■ Providing opportunities for healthy lifestyles - adding loop trails and fitness stations to county parks and advocating for
county residents to exercise and have fun are priorities.
■■ Supporting diverse housing choices - supporting new affordable housing developments, providing housing for the
disabled, and helping homeless residents are critically important priorities.
■■ Enhancing community character - supporting neighborhood improvements and updating the county’s emergency dispatch
system are county priorities.
Sustainable
practices will
keep the county a
great place to live
and work.
