Middlesex Township residents comment at kickoff for comprehensive plan
MIDDLESEX TWP — Dozens of township residents packed the municipal building Wednesday night, May 17, for the first open house meeting on the township’s comprehensive plan, filling whiteboards with page after page of comments.
“This is just a kickoff meeting … very informal, looking to gauge interest, and we received great interest,” said Jeff Winkle, township manager. “We’ve had probably close to 40 people show up in just an hour’s time.”
A comprehensive plan is a broad outline for the future goals of municipality. The last update to Middlesex Township’s comprehensive plan took place in 2004. That plan, the “Vision 2020” Joint Comprehensive Plan, involved not just Middlesex, but neighboring Richland Township, Allegheny County.
The plan currently under development is only for Middlesex.
