Make Sure the Anne Arundel County Community has its Say!

BALTIMORE, MD (March 28, 2018) The Maryland Department of Planning (Planning) is visiting Anne Arundel County on Wednesday, April 4, as part of an outreach effort for the new state development plan. Governor Hogan signed an Executive Order in August, which began the process for the creation of a new plan called A Better Maryland.

A Better Maryland is a collaborative process working with local governments, recognizing common priorities, and identifying strategies and resources for responsible growth and resource protection. The first step will be a series of 24 listening session events in every Maryland County and Baltimore City. The purpose of the listening sessions is to connect with the public, local governments, state agencies, and other stakeholders across Maryland and solicit their feedback on what should be included in a state development plan. At the meeting, participants will engage with each other and with Planning staff on how A Better Maryland can advance local needs and contribute to collaborative planning across the state.

Planning is conducting the listening sessions below on April 4 and encourages the public to attend the evening session to provide input to the state development plan, following the meetings with elected officials and government staff.
