Union County Planning Commission to Meet Feb. 9 in Lewisburg

Union County's Planning Commission is meeting in Lewisburg to address local planning matters that shape development, zoning and infrastructure in the county. The session is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2026, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Commissioners Board Room at the UC Government Center, 155 N 15th St., Lewisburg.

The county government site lists the event under the heading "UC Planning Commission Mtg" with the topic line "Union County Planning Commission Meeting." The posting includes a "See more details" prompt on the county site; residents who want full agendas or staff reports should consult that link or contact county staff directly.

The meeting takes place amid a cluster of county-level sessions at the same address. The county site also lists Commissioner's Public Work Sessions on Feb. 3 and Feb. 10 at 10:00 a.m. both in the Commissioners Board Room. Those work-session listings include explicit remote-viewing information and participation rules. The site states, "The Zoom link is provided for viewing only." For the Feb. 3 work session the posting includes Webinar ID 882 0282 1826 and Passcode 926749 and a join-by-audio number of +1 646 876 9923. The Feb. 10 listing shows Webinar ID 885 6832 2325 and Passcode 631012 and adds, "Please note that you are required to attend in person if you wish to participate in the meeting."

The county posting instructs residents about public comment procedures for at least one work session. It reads, in part, "Advance verbal, written, or electronic requests for public comment must be made prior to the start of the meeting. Please notify the Executive Administrative Assistant at swerner@unionco.org or 570-524-3894 if you wish to make a public comment or to be added to the Agenda. All requests must be received no later than the" and stops abruptly on that line. Residents who plan to speak should contact the Executive Administrative Assistant at swerner@unionco.org or by phone at 570-524-3894 to confirm deadlines and whether in-person attendance is required for participation in the Planning Commission meeting.

For clarity, similar-named jurisdictions maintain separate calendars. Union City, California, lists a Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 19, 2026, and Union County, New Jersey, published a distinct 2026 meeting schedule under New Jersey open-meeting rules; those schedules are not related to the Union County, Pennsylvania, posting.

Why this matters: planning commission decisions and recommendations influence where housing, businesses and public projects are allowed, and whether the county updates zoning or approves partitions, accessory dwelling units or home-occupation requests. Residents and neighborhood groups who track development should confirm the Feb. 9 agenda and participation rules with county staff if they want to view or address the commission. The county site entry for the meeting directs users to "See more details" for agenda items and related documents; expect agendas and staff reports to clarify what specific projects will be discussed at the meeting.
