Comprehensive‑plan consultant outlines next steps for Kennett Square update

Michael Baker, the borough’s comprehensive plan consultant, presented the commission with the current progress on the borough’s comprehensive plan, reviewed recent survey results and a literature review, and outlined upcoming steps for outreach and community involvement. The presentation was explicitly informational and the commission did not vote on the plan at this meeting.

The consultant emphasized public engagement as the next major phase and noted several upcoming opportunities for residents to review drafts and provide input. According to the meeting record, the presentation was intended to inform the commission’s later formal actions on zoning changes that would align with the plan’s goals.
