The public is invited to join the Montgomery County Planning Board throughout the spring to hear a diverse slate of planning experts speak about ways to guide growth while maintaining a vibrant economy and protecting the county’s unique natural resources.
The growth management speaker series will inform the Planning Board and planning staff as they update the county’s key growth policy, (also referred to as the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance), which directs growth to areas with the right level of roads, schools and other public amenities. The growth policy will ultimately be reviewed and voted on by the County Council.
As Montgomery County emerges as an economic power center in the state, public officials and planners are working to retain high levels of public service and our historically high quality of life.
The series hosts nationally known experts who will lend insight into such issues as balancing growth and public services; fostering high-quality communities; developing vibrant urban areas and creating pedestrian-friendly environments; among other subjects. See below for information about the speakers, who will address the Planning Board on the dates specified below.
