Montco 2050

Montgomery County is starting work on a new comprehensive plan, Montco 2050: A Comprehensive Plan for a Changing World. This important plan will guide overall growth and future development and will help the county in making planning decisions with an outlook to the year 2050. It focuses on broad issues that affect everyone’s quality of life, including land use; traffic and transit; open space, parks, and trails;  housing; water resources; and the economy. Public opinion is an important element of this planning process, as the plan will ultimately reflect the needs of our residents, and Montco would like to hear from as many voices as possible. We would like to know what planning issues are affecting you and your neighborhood or municipality, what you think should be planning  priorities in the county, and what you perceive as the county’s strengths and opportunities. Below are various ways you can participate in the planning process, and we will be rolling out more ways to get involved in 2023.  We’re looking forward to hearing from you!  

1. Leave us a comment on our Montco 2050 Padlet.  Padlet is an online spot for sticky notes, links, photos, and suggestions.  It’s organized by topic, and we’ll leave it up for as long as we’re working on the plan documents. 
2. Take our survey, which is available in Korean, Spanish, and English. Our online Montco 2050 survey  is ready for your feedback, and paper copies of the survey are available by calling 610-278-3727. 
3. Invite us to visit!  We would be happy to talk more with you, your organization, or your municipality.  Contact us for more information.
