Leadership Planning — March 9, 2026
The governor's budget slashes $20 million from the state housing department, dropping it from $85 million to $65 million. Rockville plans to back a statement asking the state to keep funding whole and may add city money to its own housing budget to stay ready for affordable housing projects like Scarborough Square and Parkside Landing.
