Charlestown Township boasts a scenic rural character complete with rolling hills and an historic village in close proximity to urban amenities. It also struggles with enormous development pressures that continue to change the region. TCA assisted the Township in producing a Comprehensive Plan that would guide growth into areas with existing infrastructure, while preserving the character. Since adoption of the plan in 2001, TCA has assisted the Township to implement its plan by developing five new TND zoning districts with design standards for attractive and sustainable development.
