Plan Overview

New Hope Borough is updating its comprehensive plan, which was last updated in 2011. A comprehensive plan is an official document that serves as a guide to land use decision making.

It is a statement of the community's vision for the future to be used by residents, the Planning Commission, The Borough Council, private and public stakeholders, and governmental agencies.

The New Hope Borough Comprehensive Plan will be an "implementable plan" focusing on the quality-of-life issues that are most important to Borough residents, reaching consensus on a direction forward, and building local capacity to effect real change.
