Towns, cities, and regions are always changing, and the Cocalico Region is no different. The purpose of this plan is to provide a guide for the future of Lancaster County’s “front porch” – a roadmap for citizens and local leaders to preserve what we love about the region, while still accommodating projected growth. The goals and strategies outlined in this document will help local decision-makers create policies that support the agricultural economy, minimize the negative impacts of new development, revitalize historic boroughs and villages, encourage the growth of small businesses, and improve the overall quality of life for residents of the region. 

The proposed new Comprehensive Plan for the Cocalico Region includes a set of policies for the development of the individual municipality and region over the next 10 years.  The Plan addresses future development, land use, housing, transportation, natural areas, and agricultural and farmland.  All interested parties are invited to attend the Public Hearing which will be held Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. at the Denver Borough Municipal Building, 501 Main Street, Denver, PA 17517.  

If you cannot attend the meeting, you may submit comments to the Borough of Denver by mail to 501 Main Street, Denver, PA 17517, or by email at Mhession@denverboro.net by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 24, 2023.
