Public Workshops a Great Success:
Public Participates “Hands On” in Development of Comprehensive
Plan
Dan Onorato sends his sincere thanks to the 250+ participants in
Allegheny County’s Public Workshop series. The six public
workshops held throughout the County, were designed to gain input
the Composite Scenario, the future vision developed for the County’s
first Comprehensive Plan.
Meetings were held in Upper St. Clair, Hampton,
Wilkinsburg, Moon, Monroeville, Rankin, and West Mifflin. The County
is pleased to report that more than one-third of the participants
were elected officials, planning commission members, and municipal
staff. Overall, two-thirds of the County’s 130 municipalities
took part in the Workshops.

Public Visioning Workshop
 05.03.2006
On May 3, 2006, over 150 citizens attended a public visioning workshop
to provide their input on how future land use and growth should
be managed in the County. Two identical workshops were held, one
beginning at 4:00 p.m. and the other beginning at 6:30 p.m. Allegheny
County Chief Executive Dan Onorato kicked-off the first workshop,
and Allegheny County Councilman William Robinson kicked-off the
second workshop. A 30-minute introduction was presented before attendees
were divided into groups to focus on four future land use options,
known as Alternative Development
Scenarios. Input was gathered for each of the four Alternative
Development Scenarios, which varied in patterns of growth, types
of land uses, densities and additions to transportation and utilities.
