The Borough of Quakertown has been working with other localities and the Quakertown Community School District to establish cooperative planning in the Quakertown Area. Following discussions on the possible advantages of joint planning between the six municipalities within the Quakertown Community School District and the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce, the Quakertown Area Planning Committee was formed by resolution in 1972. Cooperating municipalities include Haycock, Milford, and Richland Townships, as well as Quakertown, Richlandtown, and Trumbauersville Boroughs. The seventh active participant is the Quakertown Community School District. Demands on the school district are directly affected by the location, scale, type, and timing of new development. Cooperation among municipalities and the school district allows informed school facilities planning and budget management.

The results of the cooperative effort was the Quakertown Comprehensive plan.
