East End Small Area Plan: Planning Commission forwarded a unanimous recommendation after March 26 and April 16, 2026 (engage.eastonmd.gov/east-end-area-plan). Town Council public hearing/adoption is still the open step — no closed hearing date named on that page as of the Sept. 18 filing.

FY2027 general-fund budget was adopted by Ordinance 855, passed by Town Council June 1, 2026, at $30,375,486 (~$30.4 million), effective July 1, 2026 (eastonmd.gov/Archive.aspx?ADID=88).
