Gov. Ehrlich Directs Maryland Planning Department to Complete Statewide Analysis of Land Inventories
As recommended by his broadly based Development Capacity Task Force last month, Republican Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. signed an executive order directing the Maryland Department of Planning to work with local officials, homebuilders and environmentalists to coordinate and direct future growth in accordance with statewide development capacity analysis, also called buildable lot inventory.
Complementing the task force for having done ''tremendous work helping local governments and community advocates enhance their land use planning techniques,'' the governor restated the commitment of his administration to responsible growth and called a statewide analysis of land inventories ''an important step in that direction.''
Chaired by Planning Secretary Audrey E. Scott, the task force will continue quarterly meetings to track the progress of the analysis program and help its implementation.
Since its formation last year, said Secretary Scott, the task force has covered a broad range of topics, ''from the details of how to conduct this analysis, to specific examples from the (ten) pilot jurisdictions, to important growth policy issues,'' all of which ''will lead to better planning in Maryland.'' -- Maryland Department of Planning
