Hanover Township Adopts Comprehensive Plan

Neighborhood Strategies partnered with Hanover Township in eastern Licking County to guide its Comprehensive Plan to help the community manage future growth while maintaining the rural charm and open spaces that define its character.

With central Ohio experiencing rapid population and job growth, Hanover Township is taking proactive steps to ensure development remains both thoughtful and sustainable. The Comprehensive Plan focuses on responsible land use, infrastructure planning, and environmental protection. It encourages well-designed housing options, safeguards farmland and natural resources, and promotes policies that reflect the community’s values.

By combining data-driven analysis with public engagement, the plan provides a roadmap for a future that balances progress with preservation. Hanover Township’s leadership has positioned the community to grow in a way that strengthens its identity, supports residents’ needs, and protects its landscape for the future.
