A comprehensive plan provides long-range vision of the future for a community. It gathers relevant data and develops a consensus about how the community should develop and redevelop. A comprehensive plan will serve several purposes for Bowling Green Township. Our zoning ordinances require the backing of a long range plan which will be in the form of a comprehensive plan. State and Federal Grant funding often favors applications supported by a long-range plan. For example, Community Block Grants for the township and Farmland Preservation for individual land owners can be positively impacted by the presence of a comprehensive plan. Last, and most important, the comprehensive plan is constructed on behalf of the community by a group of volunteer residents and will be subject to several public reviews prior to any adoption by the township trustees. All comprehensive planning meetings are open to the public and are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5:30 PM in the township building. Minutes are available to any resident upon request.
