Central Maryland Economic Development and Permitting Summit

Join us for The Central Maryland Economic Development & Permitting Summit where you’ll hear from economic development, planning, zoning, and permitting leaders from Anne Arundel, Howard, Baltimore, Carroll, and Harford counties, along with Baltimore City.

The discussion will focus on commercial development, construction trends, and opportunities to streamline permitting and approval processes. Designed for developers, commercial contractors, and industry partners, the program offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the public officials who shape project timelines, gain practical insight into navigating local processes, and build the relationships that help move projects from concept to construction more efficiently across the Greater Baltimore region.
