Details:
Can sustainable development be delivered without higher construction costs compared to traditional development? What does financially responsible, climate-ready development look like for future generations in Montgomery County? And how can public- and private-sector partners integrate sustainability into projects right now, using proven tools, financing, and design strategies?
Join the Montgomery County Planning Board for a dynamic panel discussion on how innovative design, smart financing, and integrated planning can make sustainable development achievable and cost effective.
Panelists will share real-world examples about delivering high-performance, low-carbon projects while demonstrating how sustainability goals can align with financial feasibility, market realities, and long-term value. The discussion will highlight the role of public-private collaboration, creative financing mechanisms, and thoughtful design in accelerating Montgomery County’s path toward net zero development.
