The Town of Bloomsburg is preparing a new Comprehensive
Plan. Planning consultants,
Gannett Fleming along with an appointed Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) held a kick-off
meeting on April 17, 2008. Michelle Brummer, project manager for Gannett Fleming,
emphasized
that planning is an interactive process of assessing conditions and
needs, planning changes in
policy and investment, and
implementing those changes to guide community development.
This comprehensive plan – while a concentrated effort to develop a new document
– simply
continues the process of planning.
project team’s understanding of assets, issues and opportunities that the plan should
address.
The comprehensive plan must address various aspects of community development – land
use,
transportation, community facilities and services, etc. – but it should do so in a
way that reflects
the community’s character and needs.
This
was the first of three stakeholder workshops; others are planned for October 2008 and
February 2009.
