CCCA provides a place to express concerns about zoning, development, and landfill issues.

Members are residents who are interested in preserving the quality of life in Carroll County, concerned about property values, growing congestion, traffic and the preservation of important areas of the county for future generations.

This meeting is open to the public.

7-8:00 Community & Environmental Defense Services (CEDS) president Richard Klein will explain how to win a battle involving a proposed highway, landfill, shopping center, airport expansion, dam building, or housing project.

He will also explain how to preserve all or part of a property before a development company arrives on the scene.

Additionally, he will compare how well Carroll County growth management programs compare with those administered by the other counties in Maryland.

Klein is the author of How To Win Land Development Issues, a 280-page book which is available free on www.ceds.org.

CEDS consists of a nationwide network of legal and paralegal professionals who assist citizens and community groups with development issues that threaten a neighborhood or the environment. Presently, seventy-five percent of the those helped by CEDS have won to preserve their communities or their favorite streams, lakes, or parks.

Hear a discussion about the potential value of the bog turtle for Carroll County, for Maryland tourism, the environment, the local economy, and the heritage of Carroll County residents.
