Comprehensive Plan 2050

West Norriton 2050 is the township’s long-range plan, establishing goals for the community in the years to come. The plan addresses future growth and development and establishes policies and guidelines to implement the township’s goals. The plan provides suggested changes to the subdivision and land development ordinance and the zoning ordinance, and it offers support for grant applications and the township’s capital improvement programs organized around four main topic areas:
 • Housing & Neighborhoods
 • Green Space & Sustainability 
• Economic Development 
• Transportation 

Each has its own report with background information that supports the plan’s goals. Input from the public, the steering committee, township staff and elected officials, and Montgomery County Planning Commission also inform the goals, strategies, and prioritization. The goals and strategies are outlined in the implementation reports, included after this introduction. The population and land use reports provide additional background information about demographic and land use trends, and include a future land use map to illustrate the township’s land use vision. For information on how this plan fits into the county’s comprehensive plan and neighboring municipalities’ comprehensive plans, refer to Appendix B: Relationship to Other Plans.
