Montgomery Planning

“Meet the New Montgomery Planning” was originally published by Montgomery Planning Director Jason Sartori in The Third Place Blog (a Montgomery Planning Department Blog)

Following the adoption of Thrive Montgomery 2050 in 2022, the big question on our minds at Montgomery Planning has been – what’s next in terms of implementation? Thrive, the county’s updated General Plan, has big implications on how we grow as a county in the decades to come and marks a shift in how we plan. As we began developing Montgomery Planning’s new Strategic Plan, which outlines internal goals and objectives over the next five years, we realized we need to look at the department’s structure to position our organization for that shift.

The Montgomery County Council voted to reappoint Mitra Pedoeem to the  Montgomery County Planning Board at its June 24 meeting. Pedoeem, who was first appointed in 2023 to fill a partial term, and has been serving as Vice Chair under Planning Board Chair Artie Harris, will now serve a four-year term on the Planning Board.
