Make Public Policy
Sprawl doesn't just happen
overnight, nor of its own accord. Sprawl development has been
and continues to be fostered, in part, by policies and regulations
based on early- to mid-20th century perceptions and concerns.
Today, many of the concerns of 50 years ago have been addressed
or by-passed by changing society and technology. As we look
to the future, there are new challenges to tackle, such as how
to rebuild a sense of belonging within our communities, how
to ensure fair and affordable access to needed services, how
to provide housing for our diversifying workforce, and how to
restore the ecological vitality of the Chesapeake Bay.
Whether we meet those challenges successfully will depend
on the laws and policies in place - it is your voice and your
vote that implements the policies for our future.
