Maryland has a long history of state-level planning, dating back to the 1920’s with the establishment of a State Planning Commission and the adoption of Article 66B. This provided guiding legislation for local governments in Maryland that implemented planning and zoning. Since the 1990’s the State has taken a proactive role in implementing smart growth principles.
