EASTON, MARYLAND — Residents following the county’s Comprehensive Plan update have another Planning Commission work session on the schedule Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026.

The Oct. 7 Planning Commission agenda, posted through Granicus, schedules a work session with Planning and Zoning staff “for the purpose of reviewing chapters related to the update to the 2016 Comprehensive Plan.” The same agenda points readers to the county’s public engagement page for the 2026 update. That engage site describes the Comprehensive Plan as the guide for land use, transportation, utilities, preservation, natural resources, development, tourism, and community design, and says Planning and Zoning is leading the update, with community feedback invited through the process.

The commission’s regular Oct. 7 meeting begins at 9 a.m. Written public comments for the meeting are strongly encouraged by Friday, Oct. 2, to PublicComment [at] talbotcountymd.gov or by mail to the Department of Planning and Zoning, 215 Bay Street, Suite 2, Easton, with a full name and address for the record. Virtual viewing runs through the county’s Granicus streaming page linked from talbotcountymd.gov. The commission’s regular meetings are held in the Bradley Meeting Room at the courthouse, 11 N. Washington St.; the county notes the location can change.

Other Oct. 7 agenda blocks, including a Nature Trail Phase II discussion item, are covered separately.
