Allegheny County Comprehensive Plan

Allegheny County Comprehensive Plan Update
Allegheny County’s Comprehensive Plan is a vision for the county’s future and a roadmap to achieve it. It sets policies for development, redevelopment, conservation, and economic initiatives. The plan will empower Allegheny County to proactively shape its future, enabling strategic decision-making that emphasizes inclusive growth, sustainability,  and innovation, rather than simply reacting to issues and challenges as they arise.

The current plan was adopted in 2008, and after more than 15 years, it is time for an update. Circumstances have changed, and it is time to reassess the issues facing the county and how to address them. Throughout 2025 and 2026, Allegheny County will work to prepare a new comprehensive plan and conduct public engagement to identify the issues the plan should address, the ways the county can address them, and how the county can assist its partners in addressing them.

 

The Comprehensive Plan should be a reflection of what residents and stakeholders envision for the future of Allegheny County, and everyone is encouraged to engage with these efforts.
