Connections 2050 Municipal Implementation Toolbox

Product No.: WEB22022
Date Published: 8/2022

Geographic Area Covered: The nine-county DVRPC region, which covers the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey.

Abstract: The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is responsible for long-range planning at the regional scale, but implementation of the Plan—and much of our collective future—is based on how the region’s 350 municipalities use their home-rule authority to influence land use, provide public services, protect natural and historic resources, and, ultimately, create the places we call home. DVRPC has designed this Municipal Implementation Toolbox to serve as a guide for municipalities to help implement the goals of Connections 2050, the region’s Long-Range Plan. It contains resources, case studies, ordinances, and indicators for nearly 80 tools.
