Preservation Maryland

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) has narrowed the potential third Chesapeake Bay bridge to three corridors, all of which originate in Anne Arundel County. Smart Growth Maryland supports the no-build option.

In a major win for the environment and smart growth, earlier this week the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) denied a controversial application to construct two utility-scale solar developments proposed for forested land in western Charles County.

Smart Growth Maryland and our partners in the Smarter Growth Alliance for Charles County are supporting a proposed expansion of the Zekiah Rural Legacy Area, as well as creation of a new Nanjemoy-Mattawoman Rural Legacy Area in 2020.

As part of the continued public outreach and comment period related to the Ellicott City Watershed Master Plan, Howard County has created an interactive website that allows the public to review changes to the plan and make comments to be integrated into future changes to the plan.
