Council Approves ZTA 26-05 to Fast-Track Major Job-Creating Projects
Fani-GonzálezJul 28, 2026
The Montgomery County Council approved Zoning Text Amendment 26-05, the Job Creation Project, on July 28, 2026. The initiative, sponsored by Council President Natali Fani-González and co-sponsored by all other councilmembers, establishes an expedited and predictable development approval process for projects that create at least 200 net new jobs in strategic industries — such as biohealth and advanced technology — or that receive county or state funding. The amendment aims to attract major anchor-tenant developments and streamline regulatory timelines for large private-sector employers considering locating or expanding in Montgomery County.
