The Board of County Commissioners for St. Mary’s County has approved an extension to approvals for development projects. This action is a response to economic times and will help current projects continue to completion before the approval expires. It will affect commercial and subdivision projects both large and small.
“This decision will help our citizens and came about in response to a request from individuals and the Chamber of Commerce,” explained County Commissioner President Jack Russell. The amendment had been approved by the St. Mary’s County Planning Commission earlier. The Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners held a joint pubic hearing to discuss the amendment on May 26.
The extension took effect July 28. Any applicant wishing to take advantage of this legislation must submit written request to the Department of Land Use and Growth Management, 23150 Leonard Hall Drive, P.O. Box 653, Leonardtown, MD 20650.
