The municipalities of Collegeville Borough, Lower Frederick Township, Perkiomen Township, Schwenksville Borough, Trappe Borough and Upper Frederick Township, collectively known as the "Central Perkiomen Valley," have joined together for the purpose of mutual cooperation through regional planning.
The regional Comprehensive Plan requires the implementation of the plan's stated goals, objectives, and recommendations through a document known as the "Central Perkiomen Valley Intergovernmental Cooperative Implementation Agreement (ICIA)." The group has recognized that current growth and anticipated growth, if not properly managed, would inevitably lead to a lessening in the region's rural quality of life; the municipalities of the Central Perkiomen Valley directed that a regional Comprehensive Plan be prepared.
The Central Perkiomen Valley municipalities have reviewed the ICIA and have found it to constitute a suitable and rational approach for the implementation of the Central Perkiomen Valley Regional Comprehensive Plan.
