The Brandywine Conservancy recently acted as the lead planning consultant to update Malvern Borough’s Comprehensive Plan.

This critical document provides a vision to help guide the growth and preservation of the Borough over the next 10-20 years.

As a blueprint for the future, the Plan outlines key values, goals and recommendations for land use, natural and recreational resources, open space and land preservation, historic resources, transportation, community facilities and services, and urban revitalization.

It also incorporates climate resiliency tools to assist the Borough with adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Tom Comitta Associates and McMahon Associates acted as sub-consultants on this project to assist with the planning topics of urban revitalization and transportation.

The Chester County Planning Commission provided funding toward the Comprehensive Plan Update, as well as guidance and oversight through a representative on the project Task Force.

The Plan was informed and guided by a Task Force approved by Borough Council that included representatives from several municipal committees and commissions, active Borough citizens, and representatives from the Malvern Business and Professional Association.

Public input into the Plan was captured through a community visioning session and a community survey that was sent to all Borough residents.
