Andover Open Space Plan
Andover Open Space Plan
Welcome to the Andover Township Open Space Plan website. The Township is developing a new Open Space Plan in 2021 to shape the physical, environmental, and recreational future of the community. The updated Open Space Plan will provide a framework for enhancing the Township's quality of life through improvements to open space and recreational opportunities.
The process will take several months to complete, with a goal to have the plan complete in late 2021.
The Township will be hosting a Community Workshop for the Open Space Plan on Tuesday, October 26 at the Township building. More details can be found on the event flyer here.
We look forward to hearing from you!
