Once each decade, Howard County updates its general plan, a long-range, visionary document that guides land use, growth and development decisions. From now through the end of 2021, the county’s Department of Planning and Zoning is leading a community outreach effort to create a new general plan, called HoCo By Design. County officials want to hear from every voice to create one vision for the new general plan.

Register to attend meetings virtually on December 14 and December 15 at 7:00 pm. There will be a time-limited Q&A period after the presentations.
