Our Strategic Plan

In reality, The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is many things to the people who live in Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. Some know us as professional planners who work to design and shape quality communities and neighborhoods, roads and transportation systems, services and facilities for today's residents and for future generations. Others picture us as the protector and preserver of more than 52,000 acres of parkland, trails and open space. Many see the Commission as the provider of first-class recreational activities and facilities for citizens of all ages and ability levels. For others, still, The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is talented, helpful staff members and thousands of dedicated volunteers. But no organization can function without a plan. In order to achieve our Mission and best serve the citizens of the bi-county area, The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission will:

• Focus on Mission-Driven Core Services
• Seek New Revenues and sources of Funding
• Continuously Improve Service Delivery
• Provide Customer Focused Programs
• Maintain Management and Employee Accountability
• Incorporate Contemporary Technologies
• Prioritize Our Capital Improvement Program
• Integrate A System Of Performance Measurement
