preserving the quality of life in Olney, Maryland

Where Are We in the Process?

Both the Upper Rock Creek and Olney Master plans have been updated.  Click here to see the Upper Rock Creek plan and click here to see the Olney Master Plan.  As individual properties develop, there will be subdivision, preliminary plans and site plans.  In each step, there is a public hearing with the Planning Board.  Click here to see more on that process.
