The Maryland Legislature passed House Bill 475, Sustainable Communities Act of 2010, which established a framework for reinvestment and revitalization in Maryland’s existing communities creating a single, locally designated geographic focus area. The City of Bowie was approved by the State Smart Growth Subcabinet as a “Sustainable Community” in May 2013. The “Sustainable Communities” designation provides an efficient means of targeting scarce public and private resources for multiple State agency investments and prioritizations. The City of Bowie’s Sustainable Communities Plan Update, and its application to the State for Renewal, will be presented at a City Council meeting and Public Hearing on April 16, 2018. The public is invited and encouraged to participate in all public hearings.
