Montgomery County Cultural Plan
The county's first cultural plan in 25 years lays out a 10-year vision for arts and culture, built on belonging, connecting arts to county priorities, and strengthening the creative sector. It includes big ideas like a creative officer position, an artist service corps, and a multicultural festival. Adoption is targeted for fall 2026 after public review.

The County Executive's plan would cut about $11.2 million from parks capital projects. Committee members want to back full funding but asked Parks for a detailed breakdown of what would be lost if the cuts stand — including a solar project that could lose federal tax credits.
