Comprehensive Plan Update
Frequently Asked Questions
St. Mary’s 2050: Charting our Tomorrow” is the formal name that has been given to this project and the when the project is complete, we will have a new Comprehensive Plan for St. Mary’s County that will bring us to 2050, and beyond.
Updates to the Comprehensive Plan can result in changes to the way that land used in the future. This project provides the opportunity for the community to engage in discussions about updates to the Plan and to help shape the future of the County.
All successful organizations plan for the future. Without this Plan, local jurisdictions can struggle to identify:
- Priorities among competing future public investment in infrastructure and other capital improvement projects; and
- Areas appropriate for directed growth and separating them from other parts of the County where preservation efforts are prioritized.
Volunteering on the Community Engagement Team, attending public engagement events, and completing surveys are the best ways to get involved.
