The Haverford 2035 Comprehensive Plan is the Township's vision document for the next decade. We read all 100+ pages so you don't have to.
A comprehensive plan is a long-term vision document that a municipality creates to guide decisions about land use, housing, transportation, parks, and more. It's not a legal commitment or a budget, but it's not just words on paper either. In Pennsylvania, comprehensive plans carry real weight. They shape zoning decisions, inform how tax dollars get spent, and signal to developers and residents alike what a community values and where it's headed. Everything you'll find on the pages that follow reflects what the adopted plan recommends, but not promises of what will happen or when.
The plan is organized into several chapters covering everything from parks to housing to transportation. We've grouped them into five themes that paint a picture of what Haverford Township wants to look like — and feel like — by 2035. We invite you to explore each one below.
