“There Was A City Here”

Not long after I joined the Maryland Department of Planning, I came across a wall poster of the building where the agency is headquartered, only it didn’t have a picture of the current State Office Building and surrounding state complex but antique photographs of the neighborhood that used to exist at this site. It was captioned, “Before State Center … There Was a City Here.”

Key hearing on ‘Sustainability’ Tuesday

In Annapolis at noon tomorrow (March 9), the House Environmental Matters and Ways & Means committees will hold a joint hearing on House Bill 475, also known as the Sustainable Communities Act of 2010. The meeting will be in the Joint Hearing Room in the Legislative Services Building. We hope you’re able to come out to show your support for the bill. Growing smarter means reinvesting in our existing communities.
