The Centers and Boulevards Blog Has Been Launched

The Department of Planning recently launched a blog to provide Montgomery County citizens another opportunity to communicate with the Planning Board. The blog is intended to be a forum for the community to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with future growth. The goal is to generate a spectrum of community perspectives and guidance to the Planning Board about how to create great places to live and work in the future.

In May 2006, the Department brought together more than 100 community leaders along with local and national experts to discuss the future of Montgomery County. This blog provides a channel to expand the community-based discussion to include all Montgomery citizens.

To set the ball rolling, three questions from the May community-based discussions have been posted on the blog. Links have been provided for bloggers to access a summary report of the May community-based discussions, as well as Power Point presentations that accompanied the community discussions. Bloggers may wish to answer the questions or share opinions on other matters about land use in Montgomery County. Bloggers will be able to post comments until October 1, 2006.

To visit the blog, please follow these instructions:
