Annual Work Programs
Major & Minor Project Updates
Each year, the Montgomery County Planning Department
prepares and submits an annual program plan to the Planning Commission.
The projects included in the plan are divided into two categories: major
and minor. Major projects include those projects which involve a longer
term committment of resources (sometimes spread over multiple years) and
personnel. Minor projects are generally shorter in length and more narrowly
focused. Although the previous work programs are mentioned in the minutes
of the Planning Commission, the full descriptions are available from the
Montgomery County Planning Department.
