HALIFAX, PA 17032 Adopted by the Lower Augusta Township Board of Supervisors April 1998 Introduction FOREWORD Lower Augusta Township is a community of rolling farmland and well-established forests with great scenic beauty. It also includes attractive and very liveable residential areas, including farm- steads, old single family dwellinys and newer developments. These homes are not far from many excellent opportunities for employment. These features make Lower Augusta a very special place.

We have prepared this Comprehensive Plan to carehlly guide change in our Township during the remainder of this decade and into the next century. This Comprehensive Plan’s theme is simple, yet compelling: respect the Township’s unique natural environment and agricultural heritage while carehlly accommodating new residential, business, and other development.
