Montgomery County community asked to 'Choose What Matters to You'

During the workshop, participating citizens can visit stations and collaborate with each other, the Montgomery Matters project team, and other community leaders, with the goal of providing feedback on the overall plan, according to a county news release. Working with stakeholders and community members, the county is updating Montgomery Matters, which will outline the county’s future goals on a number of topics, including housing, recreation, future business growth, a variety of County services, and much more.
