Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s 46,000 square miles, reside over 12.8 million people, who are governed by an elaborate patchwork of local municipalities consisting of 67 counties, 56 cities, 1,547 townships, and 958 boroughs. The interplay of citizens and corporations with this wide array of municipalities, as well as the interaction of municipalities with each other and with the state, generates an endless number of issues related to zoning and land use law.
Navigating these zoning and land use law issues is an ongoing subject of interest for government agencies and private landowners alike. The allocation of land for different and often diverse purposes impacts individuals and communities throughout the Commonwealth. Planning for the usage of land requires a critical understanding of changing variables, and an innovative ability to problem solve.
