WALKABLE LEDERACH PROJECT INFO:

The Township hosted a second public workshop for the Walkable Lederach Feasibility Study on November 16, 2023.  The focus of this workshop was to share draft plans for improvements in and around the Village of Lederach and gather input on potential priorities. More than 50+ residents and community members attended this meeting and reviewed conceptual plans highlighting ways to make the village more walkable, connect the village to other areas of the township, accommodate traffic, and retain the historic character.  If you missed the meeting or you have additional comments to provide after attending, use the links below to review the meeting materials and provide comments by November 30, 2023.  Feedback received at the public workshop, and during this public comment period, will be used to refine the conceptual plans and next steps.  A draft report for the Walkable Lederach Feasibility Study will be available in January/February 2024 for public review and comment.
