The Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Subcabinet was established by the Governor in January 1998 (Executive Order 01.01.1998.04).
The Subcabinet helps implement Smart Growth Policy, recommending to the Governor changes in State law, regulations, and procedures needed to support the Policy (Chapter 759, Acts of 1997).
Under the Subcabinet are the Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Coordinating Subcommittee,and the Transportation Solutions Group.
SMART GROWTH & NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION COORDINATING SUBCOMMITTEE
As required by law, the Subcommittee reviews projects funded as special exceptions (i.e., not in a Priority Funding Area), or those with extraordinary circumstances, and reports to the Subcabinet on projects needing approval from the Board of Public Works. The Subcommittee also recommends to the Subcabinet changes in State law, regulation, or procedure needed to implement Smart Growth Policy and assists the Revitalization Center to coordinate programs in targeted communities.
Subcommittee members are designated by their State agency to relay information about procedures to implement Smart Growth Policy within that agency.

To help the Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Subcabinet implement Smart Growth Policy, the Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Coordinating Subcommittee was created by the Governor in January 1998 (Executive Order 01.01.1998.04). The Subcommittee is compiling a list of existing programs, projects, and activities to be used in Priority Funding Areas and determining how to use such programs for targeted communities in Priority Funding Areas. Areas in Maryland where local and State governments want to encourage development and growth and which meet certain criteria for water and sewage systems, population density, and land use capabilities may qualify as Priority Funding Areas. Such places include existing municipalities; land within the Washington, DC Beltway (I-495) and the Baltimore Beltway (I-695); and areas already designated as enterprise zones, neighborhood revitalization areas, heritage areas, or industrial land.
The Transportation Solutions Group was formed in April 1998 by the Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Subcabinet. The Group is to develop an action plan for the long-term transportation needs of the Montgomery County and Prince George's County region.
