Crafton Borough Council is in the review processes for the draft of our updated Zoning Ordinance as we prepare to submit it to the County Planning Office for review. The County will have 45 days to complete the review. If there are no significant changes recommended, Borough Council can advertise and vote on the new zoning ordinance in October or November. This important document will shape Crafton's future development. Please view the updated draft by CLICKING HERE (updated draft posted 10.07.24).
