Beginning in 2006, COG began coordinating with other key stakeholders to explore a new regional initiative -- now called Greater Washington 2050 -- to help guide current and future growth in the region.
COG is currently seeking input from public officials and other stakeholders on the
Greater Washington 2050 Discussion Report. This report includes preliminary recommendations from the Metropolitan Development Policy Committee (MDPC) that would serve as a framework for action. Official Board action on these recommendations is scheduled for October 10, with the hope of launching this new initiative in early 2008.
