OAKLAND, Md. — A rural county in western Maryland is asking the administration of Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley to exempt extremely slow-growing counties from proposed regulations for curbing urban sprawl.
The Garrett County Commissioners adopted a resolution Tuesday recommending that counties with less than 1 percent population growth over the last decade be exempt from PlanMaryland. Such a provision would apply to Garrett and Allegany counties, according to the 2010 census.
The commissioners are also joining a number of counties in asking the state to defer the adoption of PlanMaryland for one year.
