Kennett Township officials have adopted an ambitious open space plan that substantially increases its land-preservation goals. The plan raises the township’s former open-space goal from 20% to 30%. Other goals are to increase the amount of land devoted to active and passive recreation by 10 acres each, and to create decision-making criteria to help township officials judge potential open-space acquisitions. The township has not had an open-space plan since the early 1990s, when it established the 20% goal. That plan was absorbed into a later comprehensive plan.
