As stated in the Local Government Annual Reporting, “Section 1-208(e) of the Land Use Article, Annotated Code of Maryland (Maryland Code), requires the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) to report on the smart growth goals, measures, and indicators submitted by each jurisdiction with planning and zoning authority. The indicators provide an annual snapshot of growth-related changes, and the amount of permit activity within the state’s identified investment areas, Priority Funding Areas (PFAs), along with remaining development potential and local farmland preservation.”
