Economic Development is “LOCAL”

The economic development process is driven from many different sources from federal and state legislation, and the Governor’s office, and most of all by the business community but the very approval of any project is left to one entity in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that is the “approving township” because without that approval there is no project. Yes economic development is just that “LOCAL”.

The “approving municipality” gets its power or rights from: The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code act which was approved on January 1, 1969 and lays out the framework on how the municipal bodies provide for the intent, purpose and scope of this act to protect and promote safety, health and morals; to accomplish coordinated development; to provide for the general welfare by guiding and protecting amenity, convenience, future governmental, economic, practical, and social and cultural facilities, development and growth, as well as the improvement of governmental processes and functions and to promote small business development and foster a business-friendly environment in this Commonwealth; to ensure that municipalities adopt zoning ordinances which are generally consistent with the municipality’s comprehensive plan.
