LOCK HAVEN – After a year of meetings, surveys and planning Lock Haven City Council approved the city’s Comprehensive Plan Monday night.
This is the city’s first comprehensive plan – titled Destination Lock Haven – in 15 years and will outline how the city can improve various aspects of life for residents, visitors and those who work in the city over a 10-year span.
City Planner Abbey Roberts worked approximately a year and a half with city-hired contractors Barb Hauge of Upstreet Architects and Mark Lazzari of The EADs Group.
A final virtual public hearing was held before council’s regular meeting Monday to give the public one last chance to offer any changes to the final draft.

LOCK HAVEN –Residents of Lock Haven will have an option to make payments on their 2021 real estate taxes.
City council approved an ordinance this week that would allow those who opt into the plan to pay their 2021 real estate taxes in four separate payments instead of all at once.
“The payment plan enables a more flexible way to make smaller payments to pay off the tax bill at face value,” City Manager Gregory Wilson said.
Those who choose to use the payment plan must make payments worth 25 percent of their property tax four times over the span of the year.
