NOTE: On May 1, the Montgomery County Planning Board stopped mailing meeting agendas to county residents and associations. As the board continues to look for ways to cut costs during challenging economic times, it 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.
