TOWSON, MD—The Baltimore County Department of Planning has announced it will hold quarterly, in-person office hours to allow residents to meet with community planners and discuss local concerns and development initiatives.
The new initiative aims to foster stronger relationships and better understand the unique needs of neighborhoods across the county. Community planners will rotate locations within each of the seven council districts every quarter to ensure accessibility for all residents and business owners.
“I am pleased that the Department of Planning’s community planners are in our communities so we can support our residents’ needs and foster a stronger connection with our residents,” said Planning Director Stephen Lafferty.
The Department of Planning’s Community Planning Division Chief, Ngone Diop, said the sessions will be valuable for both planners and community members and will help “create a more inclusive and responsive planning process.”
