The New Milford Borough Council and Planning Commission announces that a public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 11, 6:30 p.m., at the Borough Building, 948 Main St, to discuss the draft of New Milford Boroughs Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission has been meeting regularly to compile the Plan with the assistance of Community Planning and Management, LLC, of Paupack, PA.  The Comprehensive Plan was undertaken to: 1) identify and inventory the changes which have taken place in the Borough over the last 10 or 15 years; 2) address key growth and development issues; 3) establish a framework for sustainable growth and development while concurrently providing for the conservation of small town community character, residential neighborhoods, open land, and the environment; 4) promote well designed residential and commercial development by providing the foundation for updated land use management tools, principally the zoning ordinance and the subdivision and land development ordinance; organize for the most efficient administration of local government and the delivery of community facilities and services; and, 6) achieve consistency with the Susquehanna County Comprehensive Plan.  The Plan includes goals and objectives and actions related to community facilities and services, streets and sidewalks, business development, land use, housing, natural resources and land use management. The Borough obtained a grant from the PA Department of Community and Economic Development to pay for half of the comprehensive plan.  The Borough is seeking participation from as many residents and business owners as possible and all are encouraged to attend. A copy of the Plan is available for review during regular business hours at the Borough office, the Pratt Memorial Library and the Susquehanna County Planning Department.
