Thrive Montgomery Outreach
Your Community. Your Future.
For Thrive Montgomery 2050 to be a meaningful, impactful plan it must reflect a shared vision of our wonderful, diverse community of residents, community-based organizations, businesses, institutions and government organizations.
Together, we’ll decide the priorities for Thrive Montgomery 2050.
That’s where you come in. Together, we can figure out how to position Montgomery County to thrive in changing times. To preserve what’s good about today while planning for what comes tomorrow. We need to understand your vision for life in Montgomery County in 2050.
Let’s have a dialogue about how we will guide our county through the next 30 years. Let’s take the time to talk today so we can all thrive tomorrow.
Over the next few months, look for virtual Thrive Montgomery 2050 events. We’ll also be on social media and in your inbox (if you let us!), all with opportunities for you to quickly and easily share your thoughts on what it will take to keep Montgomery County thriving to 2050 and beyond.
