The House Democratic Policy Committee continues its summer series of statewide public hearings Thursday in the Lehigh Valley when it will hold a public hearing on land-use planning, growth management and sprawl in Pennsylvania.
Media coverage is invited.
These hearings allow us to hear from experts in the field about possible solutions to maintaining this balance and from municipal officials about the tools and assistance they need from the state in order to address this issue. Thursday's hearing will be hosted by state Reps. Freeman has worked extensively on land-use planning issues for nearly 10 years. However, it goes beyond preserving these important features of our community. It's about preserving a way of life.
