Thrive Montgomery 2050’s three key priorities
#Thrive agenda full
The Montgomery Planning and Montgomery Parks Departments will lead much of the work, but full implementation of Thrive 2050’s recommendations will require collaboration or approval of other government bodies and extensive public input. The recommendations in Thrive Montgomery 2050 will be implemented in the coming decades through updates to master and sector plans, functional plans, zoning codes, subdivision regulations, the adequate public facilities ordinance, and other guidelines and reference manuals. The Council-approved plan includes recommendations for land use, housing, transportation, the environment, equity, design, arts and culture, parks and open spaces, and the economy.įollowing the County Council’s approval, the plan will be sent to the M-NCPPC Full Commission (Montgomery and Prince George’s County Planning Boards) to approve the resolution of the plan. It is a long-range policy framework to help guide, over multiple decades, how Montgomery County can respond to future opportunities and challenges while maintaining its important assets.
The new plan is about addressing long-standing inequities, adapting to new realities, and shifting our approach about how the county should grow. “The new plan, which reflects three years’ worth of community engagement with thousands of residents, gives us a clear path forward: to focus future growth around corridors and centers and reduce sprawl, increase housing that residents can afford, improve transit, and strengthen businesses, in equitable, sustainable ways.” “The previous General Plan has served us well, but it’s time for a new vision that can better meet the evolving needs of our current and future county residents,” said Acting Planning Director Tanya Stern.
The new General Plan takes a data-driven and community-informed approach to recommend how Montgomery County can be more equitable, economically healthy, and environmentally resilient in the midst of major demographic and technological changes.
