Copies of the proposed draft amendment are available on the County’s website (ccgovernment.carr.org) and through the Department of the County Attorney at 410-386-2030. A public hearing is schedules on the proposed amendments for Tuesday, August 28, 2007, at 4:00 p.m. in Room 105 of the County Office Building. The workshop is an opportunity for citizens to meet with staff and ask specific questions about the proposals prior to the official public hearing.
