Regarding the Planning Board conducting a comprehensive update to the Laurel Growth Management
Plan
Mayor Nelson,
I would like the City Council to discuss and approve a formal order to the Laurel City -County Planning
Board begin the process to create a comprehensive update to the Laurel Growth Management Plan. An
updated Growth Management Plan is a statutory necessity and is important to help guide city-wide
policies and decisions that address future growth and development.
The Planning Department will guide the Planning Board through this process with the assistance of
consultants from KLJ. This is an important process to undertake now as there are many challenges and
opportunities facing the City of Laurel. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
