Arbutus Sustainable Community Designation Kickoff
We want to hear from you! The Department of Planning will officially kick off the Arbutus Sustainable Community designation effort on Wednesday, October 7, at 6 p.m. The public meeting will be held via Webex and will finish at 8 p.m.
The proposed Arbutus Sustainable Community designation will aim to outline a five-year plan for targeting state and local resources to promote environmentally, economically and socially responsible growth and development in existing older communities. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development's Sustainable Communities Program is a place-based designation offering a comprehensive package of resources that support holistic strategies for community development, revitalization and sustainability. The proposed Arbutus Sustainable Community boundary will focus on the Arbutus commercial core and its connections to University of Maryland Baltimore County and the surrounding residential community.
The Department of Planning in collaboration with other County agencies will engage and work with the community in gathering input and feedback. The information gathered will provide a framework that will serve as the basis for obtaining the Arbutus Sustainable Community Designation.
For more information, please visit the Arbutus Sustainable Community Designation page.
For any questions, please contact Josephine Selvakumar, Western Sector Planner, by email at jselvakumar@baltimorecountymd.gov or call 410-887-3480.
