Matamoras Council agrees to join Westfall Township on joint comprehensive plan
Summary
The council voted unanimously to partner with Westfall Township on a joint comprehensive plan, conditioning participation on selection of a planner and an equitable split of costs; the council also approved a resolution to apply for a PCRC grant to fund the effort.
The Borough of Matamoras voted unanimously on Nov. 12, 2024 to join Westfall Township in developing a joint comprehensive plan, conditioned on final approval of a planner and an equitable division of financial responsibility. Councilman Jon Maney moved the motion, which Harry Prey seconded; the motion passed with "all in favor."
Council also adopted a resolution to submit an application for a PCRC grant to support the joint plan. Councilman Prey and Maney spoke during the old-business discussion, emphasizing the need to secure funding and a planner before final commitment. The resolution was adopted by unanimous vote.
Why this matters: a joint comprehensive plan can coordinate land-use, infrastructure and services across municipal borders, potentially affecting future zoning, capital spending and grant eligibility for Matamoras residents. The council conditioned participation on an agreed funding split and planner selection to limit fiscal exposure.
