PLANNING COMMISSION

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.
