Pennsylvania Land Use
Studies
Researchers at
Penn State University have conducted a study on land use in Berks County,
Pennsylvania, funded by the Northeast Regional Center for Rural
Development and by Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future. This study examined
the impact that land uses have on
nearby residential property values, and on factors that influence the location of
new residential development. Two versions of the final report from the
study are available, a long version containing all of the technical
details, and a shorter version that is more accessible to a broader
audience. Both reports are Agricultural Economics and Rural
Sociology Department Staff papers. These publications are circulated
without formal review by the Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology
Department. Content is the sole responsibility of the authors.
