who are appointed to four year terms by the Township
Supervisors. Commissioners are unpaid volunteers from varied
professional backgrounds who donate their time to offer
guidance to Township staff and the Board of Supervisors on
various land use and zoning plans and policies.
For Embrace Millcreek, the Planning Commission will be
responsible for holding public meetings, developing public
engagement strategies, directing township staff, and selecting
and managing planning experts to help collect and analyze
data for the actual ‘Plan’ that will be developed.
However, ultimately everyone who comes out and takes part
will be responsible for Embrace Millcreek. It will be up to every
resident to make sure that the vision and goals established
by the community are actually implemented by the Board of
Supervisors and the township’s professional public servants.
How can you have your voice heard?
Over the course of the next year and a half, the Millcreek
Planning Commission will hold township wide and
neighborhood level public meetings, develop a strong
social media presence, and utilize more traditional media
(newspaper, the township TV channel, and of course IN
Millcreek Magazine) to keep residents informed and engaged.
Right now though, the best way to participate is to spend
just a couple minutes to take the community survey at
www.MillcreekTownship.com/EmbraceMillcreek. This is the
first step in helping the Planning Commission know what
YOU think Millcreek needs and what YOU feel is important for
our community to focus on. The survey will ask you to rate
how you feel the township is doing in core service areas like
roadway maintenance and public safety, it will also ask you
to weigh in on some of the bigger ideas the Commission has
about how we might be able to move our community forward,
and you’ll have an opportunity to tell us some of the big ideas
you have for Millcreek.
The survey will be up and running through August and
September. We hope you’ll let us know what you think and also
help spread the word to your friends, family, and neighbors
so as many people as possible can have a voice. The Planning
Commission will present the results of the survey to the public
in October.
We are excited to hear from all of you and look forward to
working together to Embrace Millcreek.
