Smart Growth, Not Smarter Sprawl
Carroll County, Maryland, links development approvals to county infrastructure and service requirements.
"Developers in Carroll County, long accustomed to some of the state's most permissive development policies, are bracing for the imposition of what some are calling the most restrictive growth-control measures in the region. The new rules -- which will apply when the county's yearlong freeze on development expires June 10 -- will require developers to meet tighter standards to prove that schools, roads, utilities and emergency services in a community are sufficient before breaking ground on residential projects."
