FINKSBURG Comprehensive/Corridor Conservation Plan
|
In 2000 the Carroll County Department of Planning started the process of creating a new Finksburg Comprehensive Plan. A comprehensive plan for Finksburg was last created in 1981. In 2002 the plan was renamed to The Finksburg Corridor Conservation Plan and later to the Finksburg Corridor Plan. The Finksburg Corridor Plan took over 10 years to complete. With numerous changes, starts and stops along the way. The plan was approved on 8/29/2013. This page has been created to provide announcements and links to relevant information.
