Regional Planning Commission
The Board of County Commissioners created the Lackawanna County Regional Planning Commission on June 16, 1959. The Commission is responsible for policy decisions concerning the planning program and recommendations on subdivision and land development proposals and local land-use regulations. The Commission has nine board members appointed to four-year terms by the County Commissioners. The Planning Commission is headed by the Director of the Department of Planning & Economic Development and currently has four full-time staff members to carry out the various state-mandated planning activities and numerous additional activities for the county.
Subdivision/Land Development Plans are submitted to our office.

Subdivision and Land Development Plan Submission Procedure
In accordance with the PA Municipalities Planning Code, the county planning agency has 30 days to review and comment on subdivision and land development plans. We are an advisory body to the local municipalities. All forty (40) of our municipalities administer their own subdivision and land development regulations, and they are the final approving authority.
