The Calvert County Planning & Zoning Department, on behalf of the Calvert County Planning Commission, has prepared a draft updated master plan (click on link below to review draft) for the Prince Frederick Town Center.

The adoption process has multiple steps.

The Planning Commission will review and consider comments submitted on the July 2021 draft plan.
The Planning Commission will prepare a “Recommended Plan” and hold a public hearing to receive comments on its “Recommended Plan”.
The “Recommended Plan” will be distributed to state and regional agencies for review at least 60 days prior to the public hearing.
Agencies and members of the public can submit written comments prior to the public hearing and can give oral comments and submit written comments at the public hearing.
