a shared vision
15
The county planning commission will continue to support the
four multi-municipal planning efforts while encouraging other
municipalities to plan together.
Many organizations
provide services to local
municipalities. Two of the
largest in the county are
the Montgomery County
Association of Township
Officials
), which
brings together local
elected officials, and the
Montgomery County
Consortium, which brings
together municipal staff
members to arrange
common services.
County government will
work collaboratively
with other county wide
organizations, such as:
•
•
•
Cooperation with
neighboring counties and
regional organizations is
very important. These
efforts will include:
• Trail construction, such
as the Schuylkill River
Trail that connects into
Philadelphia, Chester,
and Berks Counties.
• Watershed planning,
such as the Neshaminy
Creek that extends
into Bucks County.
• Highway and transit
improvements, such as
the recently completed
202 Parkway leading
into Bucks County.
• Economic development
and marketing, such as
ongoing efforts to find
suitable locations for
relocating employers
within the region as a
whole.
• Comprehensive
planning and land use
initiatives.
