PlanMaryland Public Forums Being Held in Central MD
Your Opportunity to Participate in an Important Meeting for Shaping Maryland's Future
PlanMaryland is a new planning process designed to create a better and more sustainable
future for Maryland. The state legislature created the authority for such a plan in the 1970s, but a broader recognition of the costs of unsustainable types of land use has grown in recent
years to the point where such a plan is now urgently needed. We need to do a better job of steering development toward areas that already have roads, schools and other public infrastructure.
The Maryland Department of Planning is coordinating this process. We are holding 13 PlanMaryland
public forums, or meetings, throughout the state during the first half of 2010. You are invited to participate in one of the first of these this March taking place in Central
Maryland (see below for dates and locations).
Your input at these forums is invaluable to the PlanMaryland process and the plan that is
ultimately created. MDP will facilitate innovative activities and small table discussions at each forum that will engage residents and other stakeholders in helping to cast a better vision for
Maryland's future. When all 13 meetings are done, we will have involved thousands of Marylanders in this process.
