    Chapter 3 Community Context (PDF)

    Chapter 3 Community Context Introduction Many factors beyond the borders of Kennett Township can have significant impacts on planning, growth, and resources within the Township. Employment centers, recreational facilities, commercial uses, major transportation corridors, and planning policies of surrounding municipalities are all examples of potential regional influences. Kennett Township shares many regional planning relationships with its neighboring communities as well as the regionally important services, facilities, and growth trends that affect the Township. This Chapter provides an overview of the Township’s context within the larger region through: 1) examining planning items that pose an influence on the Township from outside its borders, and 2) highlighting data, trends, and forecasts of population and economic characteristics in the region. Chapter Organization: Regional Perspective p. 3-1 Geographic Setting &Land Use Historic Context Regional Transportation Network Regional Facilities and Services Regional Planning Planning Implications Demographic Characteristics p. 3-13 Population Profile Economic Profile Planning Implications Regional Perspective The location of a municipality and its relationships with other nearby communities plays an important role in determining its character, function, and vitality. The social and economic relationships Kennett shares with its neighbors provide employment opportunities and community facilities and services to residents that often cannot be fully accommodated within the confines of an individual municipality. This section highlights the various relationships Kennett shares with neighboring communities and identifies regional planning systems, infrastructure, and services that may affect the future of the Township. These relationships and issues have been considered in preparation of this Comprehensive Plan. As planning is a dynamic process, periodic review of these regional relationships is essential for maintaining an ongoing effective planning program.
