Effective May 1, the Montgomery County Planning Board will stop mailing meeting agendas to county residents and associations. As the board continues to look for ways to cut costs during challenging economic times, it has identified eliminating mailing agendas as a significant savings measure. Yet, the board is eager to keep its constituents informed about its hearings, activities and initiatives. To stay involved, consider subscribing to our weekly e-newsletter, InfoShare.
