Joint Comprehensive Plan Open House
The Planning Committee for the draft Northumberland Borough and Point Township Joint Comprehensive Plan will host a Comprehensive Plan Open House on March 26, 2026 from 5pm to 7pm at the Point Township Municipal Building, located at 759 Ridge Road, Northumberland, PA.
The purpose of the Open House is to present the core elements of the draft plan to the local citizens public, local officials, and potential project partners, and to receive feedback. No action on the draft plan will occur at the Open House.
Drop in between 5pm and 7pm—when it’s convenient for you. A series of posters will show local assets and concerns related to development, citizen survey results, draft goals, draft future land use patterns and category descriptions, and draft priority projects and initiatives. The Planning Committee and the planning consultant will be available throughout the open house.
The comprehensive plan is not a regulation, however the plan does recommend a future land use pattern, updates to zoning ordinances and maps, transportation and infrastructure improvements, and municipal services like public safety and recreation.
The Planning Committee will review comments made at the Open House prior to submitting the draft plan to the Borough and Township planning commissions for their review and public meetings.
