Long Range Planning and Implementation

The City’s Long Range Planning and Implementation Division works with residents and businesses to develop plans that make Rockville’s neighborhoods and commercial areas great places to live and work.

The division prepares and coordinates implementation of the City Master Plan, 18 distinct neighborhood and sector plans, and other special plans under the direction of the Rockville Planning Commission and the Mayor and Council. These plans are based on citizen-identified goals and Mayor and Council priorities, and must also comply with State planning requirements.

The Long Range Planning and Implementation Division also serves as a source for strategic data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping, and generates forecasts on employment and population that serve City, county, state and regional planning needs.

PlanMaryland
PlanMaryland is designed to create a better and more sustainable future for Maryland. The state legislature created the authority for such a plan in the 1970s, but a broader recognition of the many costs of unsustainable land use has grown in recent years. This new planning process commenced with listening sessions that the Maryland Department of Planning held in 2008 and will culminate with a State Growth Plan proposal in 2011.
