RESTART Montco, a new initiative developed by Montgomery County Planning Commission, is focusing on determining how planning can best help local communities recover from the effects of pandemic-related shutdowns and adjust to current reopening guidance.

“Responsibly restarting our economy is a top priority across Montgomery County,” said Dr. Valerie A. Arkoosh, Montgomery County Board of Commissioners Chair. “RESTART Montco assists with this through a planning approach that uses an innovative, comprehensive platform that invites the public to share information and experiences.”

Using a web-based platform divided into six general categories, the initiative provides resources and encourages the open dialogue and community collaboration that is crucial to facilitating a successful reopening.

The platform is designed to be useful to municipal staff and officials, business owners, nonprofits, and the general public.

The categories include Economic & Businesses, Government Regulations & Zoning, Transportation, Housing, Public Meetings, and Open Space & Recreation.

Specific topics within these categories are explored using curated outside resources, content created by the MCPC, stories or examples of success, along with forums for public discussion.

These forums are a major component of this initiative, with the public being invited to share information, experiences, and success stories.
