Towamencin adopts new comprehensive plan

Dated: August 26 2026

Towamencin Township supervisors unanimously adopted a new comprehensive plan — the first full update in 40 years — capping more than two years of public meetings and debate over the community's long-term vision for growth, open space, housing and infrastructure. The plan includes proposals to expand connectivity to schools, revise zoning for housing types like stacked townhomes and accessory dwelling units, and pursue funding for a recent connectivity study. Planning consultant Peter Simone stressed the advisory document doesn't legally bind the township to any specific action, while board members sparred over its housing density and affordability language. Supervisor Kristin Warner argued that added density and shrinking private yards would erode suburban quality of life without solving affordability, Supervisor Kofi Osei pushed back on that characterization, and residents offered mixed reactions ranging from support for preserving open space to skepticism about further housing density, before the board ultimately approved the plan as presented.
