What is Reimagining Our Westmoreland?Reimagining Our Westmoreland is the comprehensive plan adopted by Westmoreland County in December 2018. It outlines the objectives and strategies to achieve the goal of attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse and stable workforce that will sustain a healthy economy.
Planning Districts ConceptWestmoreland County is a large and diverse place of over 1,000 square miles and 65 unique municipalities. The Planning Districts concept is based on the idea that logical groupings exist based on geography, culture, economics, education, and transportation. Since local government serves a vital role in forging our shared future, the Planning Districts concept has emerged as a way to support and empower municipalities to achieve the goals of the plan in ways that work for their communities. Local officials will bring the concept to life.
