Survey on Zoning Reform

We’re conducting this survey to better understand the current landscape of zoning reform efforts across Pennsylvania. Whether your municipality has already made changes, is considering them, or you're actively advocating for reform, your input will help us identify trends, challenges, and opportunities. The information you provide will help us better understand the status of local efforts and better explain the challenges.

All individual responses will remain confidential and will not be shared unless you explicitly provide permission otherwise. Thank you for your time and valuable input.
