Coopersburg Community Survey

Coopersburg is preparing a new Comprehensive Plan, which is being combined with a Parks and Recreation Plan. The Plan will recommend land use, housing, transportation, community facilities, parks, trails, and preservation policies for Coopersburg over the next decade. The Plan is not a regulation, but the Plan may recommend some adjustments to the Borough's regulations on development.

The results of this survey will be posted on the Borough website. Public meetings will be held in future months. Your responses to this survey will be used to help shape the Comprehensive Plan and the Parks and Recreation Plan.

If you wish to submit the survey online, there is a link at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Coopersburg , or you can drop this survey off or mail it to: Coopersburg Borough Hall, 5 N. Main St., Coopersburg, PA 18036 . Please try to return the survey by October 30, 2024, but we will continue to compile results after that date. A shorter survey that is designed for young persons is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CoopersburgYouth .
