Announcing our Anne Arundel Chapter!
The Maryland LCV is proud to introduce our new Anne Arundel Chapter.
The chapter will focus solely on County Council and County Executive races in Anne Arundel County. The plan is to endorse environmentally-minded candidates, work for their campaigns, and create a county council scorecard.
PlanMaryland is a new planning process designed to create a better and more sustainable future for Maryland. The state legislature created the authority for such a plan in the 1970s, but a broader recognition of the costs of unsustainable types of land use has grown in recent years to the point where such a plan is now urgently needed. We need to do a better job of steering development toward areas that already have roads, schools and other public infrastructure.
The Maryland Department of Planning is coordinating this process. They 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.
