Newtown Borough Comprehensive Plan Update, Community Survey

Newtown Borough Resident Survey

Newtown Borough would like your help in planning the future of your community. The Borough is currently in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan, which was last updated in 2010. The Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as a policy guide to decision making in the borough. It is a statement of the community’s future goals and vision for use by the planning commission, Borough Council, private stakeholders and regional, state and federal entities. The plan is periodically reviewed in order to ensure it reflects the most current needs and views of the Borough.

The Borough would like to hear the views of as many residents as possible and is committed to ensuring the community plays an active role in developing the policies that will help shape development in the Borough for the next ten years and beyond. To ensure that the views of your household are considered in the development of the Comprehensive Plan update, please take a few minutes to complete the following survey.  Please read each question carefully and answer to the best of your knowledge, with your honest opinion. All responses to this survey will be anonymous. Please complete this survey by December 11, 2020.
