The Joint Comprehensive Plan was largely financed by Berks County's Federal Community Development Block Grant Program. Berks County established a policy for funding local planning with CDBG funds that implements the principals defind in the Berks County Comprehensive Plan revision. A major objective is to promote joint municipal planning, intergovernmental and regional cooperation. As a result,  the County initiated a Local Planning Partnership Fund, to fund the preparation of local comprehensive plans for municipalities that engage in joint planning efforts. The County commends municipal officials of Amity Township, Exeter Township and St. Lawrence Borough, as well as the joint committee members for their participation in this program.
