Steering Committee
The Landscapes2 Steering Committee has been formed to assist in identifying the planning issues facing Chester County and serve as a sounding board for ideas and solutions. The Committee consists of the nine members of the Chester County Planning Commission and 28 individuals from around the county, representing many different interests, expertise and points of view. Meetings will be held at different times and in different locations to ensure a greater familiarity with the diversity and uniqueness of Chester County. It is anticipated that it will take the Steering Committee approximately a year to complete its work. View the list of Steering Committee members.
