In addition to the general purposes listed in §
425-3, the following specific community development objectives, created as a direct result of a community-wide visioning process in 199, and incorporated into the Wolf Creek Slippery Rock Creek Council of Governments Comprehensive Plan, have been considered as a basis upon which the regulations and controls of this chapter are derived.
By the year 2007, Springfield Township should be primarily a
rural, small-town community; keep its natural/scenic qualities, its
ability to farm, personal freedoms and other high qualities of life;
and plan of a targeted and limited development area in which to provide
for economic development opportunities, yielding higher-pay job opportunities
and thriving local businesses, and not resulting in sprawl or undesirable
impacts or costs for the community.
