The Office of Planning and Development implements and manages the County’s redevelopment projects by creating opportunities for public-private partnerships that leverage County assets and facilitate Executive initiatives.

OPD also advises the County Executive and elected officials on planning and land use matters related to County land and the optimal use of County resources, managing both acquisition of land for County facilities and disposition of County-owned land no longer needed for public use. OPD coordinates with M-NCPPC to ensure that current and future County government needs are addressed on land use matters.
