PlanMaryland Public Forums: Meetings for Shaping Maryland's Future

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. They 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).
