Hello fellow islanders, there is a public forum tonight to give feedback on the 2050 Plan. The commissioners have chosen to keep Piney Point designated as a Town Center, which allows for increased residential, commercial and industrial growth. While some development can be good, this seems ill advised for a water bordered community dependent on well water.
If you'd like to make your feelings known, or just want to learn about what is going on, the details are below.
The St. Mary’s County Planning Commission is holding a public hearing for the draft St. Mary’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Change Requests.

Date: Monday, June 29, 2026
