  • Résumé

  • This episode is about the need for a La Plata Economic Development function.

    At the December 10, 2024, Town Council meeting, Town of La Plata Ordinance 24-20, Tourism Zones was introduced as a first reading.

    This is based on State enabling legislation enacted by the Maryland General Assembly in 2024, House Bill 1281/Senate Bill 0014 (Maryland Code, Local Government § 18-401), which enables municipalities to create tourism zones to encourage the growth and expansion of tourism-related businesses within areas designated by those jurisdictions.

    I was not in favor of moving the proposed tourism ordinance to legislation for this and other reasons, including:

    *Limited administrative or staff capacity to run this program
    *No incentives were provided
    *What are fiscal impacts – costs, revenue generation?
    *Can current town functions support tourism or diversity in our tax base?

    Are there other options – form an Economic Development Commission or function, combining current town activities?
