Every five years Southern Maryland RC&D develops an Area Plan, or strategic plan, specific to the needs and challenges of Southern Maryland. This plan must be the result of public participation and serves to guide our project priorities for the next five years.
Southern Maryland RC&D is involved with a great many projects and works with countless project partners. However, our projects must address locally identified issues AND must fall into one of four mandated categories:
1.) Community Development
2.) Land Conservation
3.) Land Management
4.) Water Management
On June 28th the Southern Maryland RC&D Area Planning Committee facilitated a workshop in Hughesville to interpret the responses to our Area Planning survey and form those responses into Goals, Objectives and Strategies. We are currently hard at work on the Area Plan and hope to have it for download by mid-August.
