FUTURE LAND USE MAP & ALIGNING LAND USE STRATEGIES

Over the course of the last several months, your input has aided in the creation of the following Future Land Use Map for the central Westmoreland region. Together, your respective municipalities have identified areas for Preservation, Enhancement, and Transformation.

At the last Central Planning District meeting on May 26th, we conducted a survey of land use priorities among municipalities. Together, we looked at strategies from Reimagining Our Westmoreland (see below) as they pertain to key issues that have been identified throughout the planning process such as blight, beautification, parks and recreation, downtowns, etc.
