The Montgomery County Council created the Infrastructure Funding Workgroup by Council Resolution 20-745 on March 18, 2025. The workgroup’s goal is to recommend strategies to fund infrastructure and growth-related needs in the County.
The Montgomery County Council determined that this workgroup was necessary as it reviewed the 2024-2028 update to the Growth and Infrastructure Policy (GIP) and Bill 16-24: Development Impact Taxes – Amendments. The historical context and policy background discussions from the Montgomery County Council’s review of the GIP, Bill 16-24, and the Infrastructure Funding Workgroup are included under the Background Resources.
Information about the workgroup’s meetings, agendas, public outreach, and work products are detailed below. The workgroup is required to present its findings on or before June 30, 2026. If you have any questions, please contact one of the staff listed in the Contacts section.
