Event Details

Speaker:

Abbie Emison, McKenna & Shawna Gfroerer, Copley Twp., Summit Co.

Description:

A strong comprehensive plan serves as the foundation for smart growth, sound zoning decisions, and long-term economic vitality. This session brings together the practical, on-the-ground perspective of the township with the broader strategic insight of an urban and economic development planner. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the full planning process — from community engagement and visioning to implementation, investment attraction, and periodic updates. Learn how to create or refine a plan that is not only compliant and actionable, but also positioned to guide sustainable development, support economic opportunity, and reflect your township’s future goals.
