The objectives of the Harpers Ferry Planning Commission, in its advisory capacity, are to promote the orderly development of the Town; preserve, protect, and foster the rehabilitation of its historic edifices; provide healthy surroundings for family life; to insure that growth of the community is commensurate with its historic significance; and such other objectives, as set forth in West Virginia Code. The Commission consists of seven appointed members, including a Town Council representative and one member appointed directly by the Mayor. For complete information, refer to Article 133 of the Codified Ordinances of Harpers Ferry.
Additionally, one member of the Planning Commission must also serve as a member of the Tree Committee, as required by Article 1104 of the Codified Ordinances.
