McAlevey's first step was to draw up a master plan for the area and then a zoning ordinance based on that plan. To prepare further for future development, the township set six-year capital budgets for public works. By 1969, the whole package of coordinated controls went into effect.

The investment prospered until the '50s, when Young's death was followed by a well-publicized proxy battle that cost Kirby his post as the company's top officer.
