Bridgeport council approves three‑year planning services contract with Montgomery County Planning Commission
Summary
The council voted to execute a multi‑year planning services contract with the Montgomery County Planning Commission to continue zoning and land‑use work, including an upcoming subdivision and parking study.
Bridgeport Borough Council approved Resolution 2025‑13 on June 24 to execute a planning services contract with the Montgomery County Planning Commission, continuing a multi‑year relationship on zoning and land‑use work.
Council members said the county contract—standardly offered as a multi‑year engagement—has supported the borough’s comprehensive planning and recent zoning revisions. Council discussion noted the current contract work focused on finalizing zoning revisions and that staff and county planners are preparing an update to the subdivision and land‑development ordinance as well as a parking and land‑use study.
A council member said the planning assistance “has been really useful” and that the relationship has “bared some fruit,” noting ideas raised in commission meetings and ongoing or planned projects around the borough.
The contract was described in the meeting as a three‑year standard for county planning assistance and as the borough’s third agreement of this type; council members said earlier contract work included the comprehensive plan and zoning revisions. The motion to execute the contract was moved and seconded on the record, and the council recorded no opposition when the item was carried.
Council members present who participated in the discussion included Diane Gundrum, Kyle Schenck, Tommy Heil and others who serve on or consult with the borough’s planning committee; the transcript records support for continuing the county planning assistance for zoning, subdivision and parking work.
