Results Statement: Carroll County will grow based on a plan with community support which retains the heritage, quality of life, and special places of the County.
Carroll County has seen steady growth in population over the last two decades. Concerns about the impact of growth are often shared anecdotally ranging from environmental impact, recycling, water quality and more.
For several years, The Partnership has operated a Leadership Team known as the Resource Conservation Coalition (RCC). They had viewed the CHIA areas of growth and water simultaneously…seeing a commonality of expertise and impact. These leaders have agreed that improvement targets and indicator choices for the two areas should be reviewed because new information may be available and new priorities may be emerging.
During FY2012 the regular meetings of the Leadership Team will be suspended while we examine these areas in conjunction with a major community health needs assessment. In the meantime, we are maintaining our connection with our partners and key experts in the area of Growth, and will continue to provide relevant information on this site.
