Norristown, PA (October 9, 2013) – Montgomery County Planning Commission (MCPC) is kicking off a yearlong effort to engage the community in forming the county’s new comprehensive plan, Montco 2040: A Shared Vision.  This important plan will look at issues that affect everyone in the county, including traffic and transit, parks and trails, housing, and economic growth.  The plan will guide future development and investment in Montgomery County. 

There are a number of ways for residents, businesses, schools, organizations, and others to participate in creating a future vision for Montgomery County. Everyone is invited to attend one of four public workshops. Find out about the first part of the plan, Montgomery County Today, which provides the background information for the plan, and give feedback on a variety of issues.
