PlanMaryland Public Forums
PlanMaryland is a new planning process designed to create a better and more sustainable future for Maryland. The Maryland Department of Planning is coordinating this process. We are holding 13 PlanMaryland Public Forums, or meetings, throughout the state during the first half of 2010. You are invited to attend and participate in these meetings. Your input at these forums is invaluable to the PlanMaryland process and the plan that is ultimately created. MDP will facilitate innovative activities and small table discussions at each forum that will engage residents and other stakeholders in helping to cast a better vision for Maryland's future.
