The St. Mary’s 2050 project began in the fall of 2024.  In early December, the Project Team held three community engagement workshops to strategize future community engagement events and activities.

During January – February 2025, the Project Team conducted 11 Community Visioning Sessions (Community Engagement Window #1).  Online visioning activities were made available through the beginning of March.

During May – June 2025, the Project Team attended 12 community events to distribute and administer surveys that clarified key priorities shared during the Community Visioning Sessions. Surveys were made available for completion online, and paper copies of the surveys were available at each of the public libraries and the Dept of Land Use & Growth Management office (Community Engagement Window #2).

Before preparing a draft of the St. Mary’s 2050 Plan, the Project Team is seeking additional public input. Please use this form to submit any additional comments or ideas that you think would be helpful to the Project Team. 
When you submit this form, it will not automatically collect your details, such as your name and email address, unless you provide them yourself.
