Chester County Planning Commission

Landscapes3 is the 2018 renewal of Chester County’s commitment since 1996 to balancing growth and preservation. It reestablishes the Landscapes legacy of resource preservation, revitalized urban and suburban centers, housing diversity, transportation choices, collaboration, and resiliency while introducing new and innovative ideas.

The plan and associated website feature a graphic and engaging presentation. A unique aspect is a four-part video series, using revealing drone footage, promoting preservation of the county’s exceptional character.

The plan was built with extensive community involvement. It focuses on a limited number of high-priority, achievable recommendations, including continued county funding for planning and land use ordinance updates at the municipal level.
