One of the most important powers and responsibilities of local government is its
authority to plan and guide growth of municipal services and public improvements so
that development occurs in an orderly, rational and reasonable manner.
A planning commission assists local elected officials in carrying out these important
responsibilities. Commissions can gather data, analyze information, coordinate
efforts and educate its citizens regarding the best choices for the community.
All of these activities aid local elected officials in their decision making process for
future development.
Working together locally, Pennsylvanians can begin growing and living smarter.
A planning commission can be a resourceful forum by holding public meetings and/or
hearings to filter concerns and ideas from citizens. It can also serve as a useful
board for new or innovative concepts.
A commission can then report its findings and recommendations to the governing
body for legislative action.
Planning commission members give the governing body an opportunity to expand its
contact and understanding of community concerns by doubling or easily tripling the
number of eyes and ears turned to community interests. Everyone benefits and is
better served.
An important reason for planning is to anticipate the needs of the people for public
improvements and provide sensible means for meeting those identified needs.
The process demands that all interests be considered and then balanced.
Members of a planning commission can play a crucial role in identifying, analyzing
and balancing environmental, economic and human interests. In combination, these
interests represent the very fiber of our democratic process and our quality of life.
By careful planning, we can determine how to best promote proper use of land,
provide for the efficient movement of people and goods, preserve our natural
resources, and achieve the most appropriate and economical use of our natural and
human resources.
All of these resources are important to the welfare of our communities. Local
governments have been delegated the power to plan and guide the way these
resources are utilized.
Members of local planning commissions can assist our municipal officials in many
significant ways.
