The Maryland Department of
Planning would like to invite you to our second round of outreach for the new state
development plan, A Better Maryland.
We previously visited your community and we are returning to continue the
dialogue. Your suggestions were incredibly informed and detailed and we would appreciate
your assistance this fall.
We have been busy this past
summer compiling and analyzing input in partnership with other state agencies,
the Smart Growth Subcabinet, the Maryland Sustainable Growth Commission, American Planning
Association (APA) Maryland, and planning directors from across the state. You
can check out the feedback by county on our What We’ve Heard page.
We are beginning a second round of meetings across
