What’s the difference?


Venn Diagram that explains that the comprehensive plan and the strategic plan are two different things.

Did you know? Talbot County is currently working on two major planning efforts, and while they’re both important, they serve different purposes:

The 2026 Update to the Comprehensive Plan is a long-term guide for land use, growth, housing, infrastructure, and environmental planning. It’s a roadmap for how the County will develop over the next 20+ years. Learn more ➜ https://engage.talbotcountymd.gov/compplan


The Economic Development and Tourism Strategic Plan focuses specifically on boosting our local economy and tourism industry. It outlines short- and mid-term goals to support businesses, attract visitors, and strengthen our workforce. Learn more ➜ https://www.talbotworks.org/strategic-plan/


Both plans are informed by community input—but they tackle different parts of Talbot County’s future!
