Planning and Development
The Susquehanna County Department of Planning and Development administers the day-to-day operations of the Susquehanna County Planning Commission. Review of subdivision and land development plans, preparation for the monthly Planning Commission meeting, ordinance review and development, and supporting any and all activities relative to land use and the development of the county are duties of the Department.
The Susquehanna County Planning Commission meets on the last Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM at the County Office Building, 81 Public Avenue, Montrose, Pa. The Tentative Agenda for the upcoming meeting is posted one week prior to the meeting.
One of the most important aspects of the Department is interacting with the public. Listening to what you say and letting you know what we’re doing is essential to the orderly development of the county. We welcome your ideas and comments!
Tell us what you think! Here’s your chance. We need to know!
Thank YOU for helping to plan the future of Susquehanna County!
