Comprehensive Plan Update

Get Involved

The “St. Mary’s 2050” plan will be shaped by community input. The new plan will establish a cohesive, countywide vision for land use, and an actionable strategy to achieve this vision. During the development of the “St. Mary’s 2050” plan, community input will be sought during “community engagement windows.” Community members are encouraged to participate to ensure that all voices are heard. Click here for the project timeline.

Community Engagement Window #1 provided community members with the opportunity to give input on the vision and key planning themes that will guide development of the plan. Scroll down for information about past Community Visioning Sessions

Community Engagement Window #2 and #3 will take place from Spring to Fall in 2025. To stay informed, please join our mailing list.
