UNIONVILLE VILLAGE MASTER PLAN
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., prevailing time, at 721 Unionville Road, Kennett Square, PA, the East Marlborough Township Board of Supervisors shall conduct a public hearing to consider comments on the Unionville Village Master Plan (“Master Plan”), last revised on October 13, 2026. Immediately thereafter, as part of its regular meeting, the Board shall consider adopting the Master Plan as an appendix to the Unionville Area Regional Comprehensive Plan. The Master Plan is a planning document that helps village residents develop a vision for the village’s future. It will serve as a central document that captures this vision and provides policy direction for land uses, community facilities, circulation, and other needs. The Master Plan is not a legal document and does not codify anything into the Township Code; it makes recommendations to inform policymaking by the governing body.
Complete copies of the proposed Unionville Village Master Plan are available for public inspection at the East Marlborough Township Building, 721 Unionville Road, Kennett Square, PA, during normal business hours (8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday – Friday), and by appointment.
