The Planning Commission does indeed have difficult tasks. - It is expected to oversee the growth and development of the community and to insure that the community's infrastructure is prepared for any growth and development that may occur.
- It must advise the governing body on matters relating to planning and community facility needs.
- It is obligated to prepare amendments to planning and planning related ordinances if such become necessary.
- It must bear the responsibility of advising the governing body on the action that should be taken on subdivision proposals and development plans, and it can be responsible for a variety of other activities as are specified in the MPC. The responsibilities are considerable, the consequences are important, and the tangible rewards for providing such voluntary service are usually difficult to discern. However, thousands of individuals are willingly providing their time and services to serve in such a capacity. They are helping to shape their environment and helping to direct the course of community thinking.
