2006 Comprehensive Plan
The City has contracted with Environmental Resources Management (ERM) to undertake the update to the 1997 plan. The Planning Commission hosted a kick-off meeting with local stakeholders on April 27, 2005. The purpose of the meeting was to identify key issues for exploration in the 2006 Plan. Additional public meetings were held 2005 to develop policies for the plan. The Planning Comission has been reviewing the consultant's draft Plan for much of 2006. The 2006 Plan is scheduled for adoption by the Mayor & Council in early 2007. For more info, contact planning@hagerstownmd.org.
