Policy Platform
Our neighborhoods are the backbone of Charles County. From established HOAs to growing condominium communities, residents deserve a voice at the county level.
1. Create a District 2 Community Partnership Initiative
- Quarterly roundtables with HOA and condo leadership.
- Expanding commercial development to reduce residential tax burden
- Early input on zoning, transportation, and development decisions.
2. Growth That Works for Existing Residents
- Evaluate traffic, school capacity, and infrastructure before approvals.
- Advocate for development that complements, not overwhelms, established neighborhoods.
- Push for impact mitigation where growth affects HOA/condo communities.
3. Education & Support for Volunteer Boards
- Promote training resources for HOA/condo board members.
- Help associations navigate county processes (permits, inspections, stormwater, etc.).
- Encourage dispute-resolution pathways to reduce costly litigation.
4. Infrastructure Equity for Shared Communities
- Ensure townhome and condominium areas receive the same attention to:
- Road maintenance coordination
- Pedestrian safety
- Drainage and environmental management
- Improve collaboration where county and association responsibilities intersect.
5. Transparent Government Communication
- Clear, advance notice of projects affecting residential communities.
- Simplify how associations access county information and services.
- Establish a “Community Impact Review” approach for major initiatives.
