The Maryland Sustainable Communities Program is a place-based designation offering a comprehensive package of funding resources that support holistic strategies for community development, revitalization and sustainability. Howard County has worked with the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development to designate certain areas of the county as Sustainable Communities including Ellicott City, North Laurel-Savage, and Long Reach Village. This year, the County will be seeking a state designation for Elkridge. The designation process requires the development of a Sustainable Community Action Plan, a key part of the application the Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning will prepare.
