Frederick County Executive Jan Gardner has renamed the county’s Community Development Division to the Planning and Permitting Division in an effort to provide a more recognizable way for citizens seeking assistance with planning, permits and development review issues to navigate within the Frederick County Government organizational structure.
The renamed division will be comprised of three departments: the Planning Department, the Permits & Inspections Department and the Development Review Department. In addition, the Office of Sustainability and Environmental Resources will remain under the Planning Department.
