Maryland has a huge amount of untapped potential to create jobs while powering our state with Maryland's natural resource: coastal wind. According to a study by the US Department of Energy, Maryland has the potential to capture 50-100% of its electricity from offshore wind! Come learn more about where the best sites are, what this would look like, and the impacts offshore wind could have on our economy.

PlanMaryland Public Forums

PlanMaryland is a new planning process 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 costs of unsustainable types of land use has grown in recent years to the point where such a plan is now urgently needed. We need to do a better job of steering development toward areas that already have roads, schools and other public infrastructure.

The Maryland Department of Planning is coordinating this process. They are holding 13 PlanMaryland public forums, or meetings, throughout the state during the first half of 2010. You are invited to attend and participate in these meetings.

You can find the schedule on their website. Take a moment to find the one in your backyard.
