The planning commission has changed its meeting schedule for the year.

The commission also will meet at 6:30 p.m. (a change from 6 p.m.) on the second Tuesday of each month for formal action on proposed land development, construction and other issues under the board’s purview.

History

The White Township Planning Commission was created on Dec. 22, 1959, in order to oversee the future planning and development needs of the township. Members of the commission are appointed by the supervisors and are responsible for administering the township's Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO), which regulates development within the township.
