Shape Allegheny County’s Future!
Allegheny County is planning for the next 25 years with Allegheny Forward, a long-range framework to guide growth, investment, and development. This is a crucial moment to share how investing in food access for our neighborhoods builds a more just future for our communities.
We are asking that you take Allegheny County's Emerging Themes Survey and help amplify the importance of Equity & Quality of Life in Allegheny County’s Comprehensive plan priorities. In the space provided for additional comment in question 10, we encourage you to add further input on how crucial investments in our local food systems are.
Sample Text:
“Ensure all residents have access to affordable, healthy, and culturally appropriate food by expanding nutrition incentives across the county – and by implementing a county Office of Food Equity to prioritize solutions to nutrition barriers.”
Have more thoughts to share? Want to make your voice heard further? Consider submitting a post to the Allegheny Forward vision board. “If Allegheny County could work on only one idea that would make the county a better place to live, work, or invest in, what would it be?” Utilize the sample text above, or submit your thoughts!
This once-in-a-generation effort will shape decisions on land use, housing, transportation, infrastructure, economic opportunity, parks and open space, and other priorities that affect daily life across the county. Hunger is not just an issue of food access, it is a matter of ensuring all basic needs are met for everyone.
The plan will guide real investments, and it needs to reflect the voices of the people who live and work here. Your input can turn community needs into county government priorities.
