On-line Survey: County Comprehensive Plan
Here at FMO we try to steer clear of politics. We get so many differences of opinion over who has the best pizza to even consider bringing any political debate to the table.
But the the Frederick County Government does want your opinions. They are soliciting input on the County Comprehensive Plan, regarding issues like development, preservation of Open Space, where to allow development, issues related to public transportations, etc.
I encourage you all to submit a survey. I did it this morning and it only takes about 10-15 minutes. The survey is open through June 15th, so don’t procrasinate too long!
So, are you slow growth, no growth, growth-growth or indifferent? Don’t tell us, complete the survey! Maybe we’ll be able to post results if/when they become available.

Mine’s done.
(Reminds me of doing SRA reading kits in grade school for some reason.)
Cool, I took the survey! I love surveys.
Not sure that it’s a matter of slow, no or go. The nature of the growth matters more than numbers. 50 infill townhouses within, say, the city of frederick (or similar revitalization within Brunswick or Thurmont) is better than 5 “estate lot” homes out on a greenfield in the middle of nowhere.
Glad to see the survey addressed some of this. About time the county moved beyond outdated Euclidian zoning concepts.
Done. Interesting survey–glad to see some careful thought beyond the stereotypical growth vs. no-growth.
I completed the survey. Wonder if mine will count, though, since I live in the Damascus area and only work in Frederick.
Completing the survey took me a lot longer than the 20 minutes estimated to be needed. Maybe because some of the questions really challenged you to think through your responses, and many of the issues were interrelated.
Then I found myself weighing what I thought was feasible and COULD happen–vs. what I really would like to see, but probably COULDN’T happen.
did it, and I’m glad I did! Am hoping that someone out there is paying attention. We need as many people as possible to participate in the survey.
