Middle Smithfield Township is home to the natural beauty of the Poconos, but struggles to maintain a delicate balance between resource protection and needed economic development. TCA assisted the Township to establish a legal and policy framework for managing future growth by prioritizing the Middle Smithfield landscape from its pristine forests to the Route 209 corridor where higher intensity development is more desirable. The Future Land Use Plan addressed elements such as greenways, mixed-use development, historic resources, transfer of development rights (TDR), neighborhood-scale commercial, industrial uses, and a new town center.
