Pathways Update and Feedback Requested

Garrett County held a successful public open house on April 1, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM at the Oakland Volunteer Fire Department, where RK&K presented their findings from the Pathways and Connections Projects. The event attracted over 50 attendees, providing valuable feedback that will inform the updated recommendations for these important projects.
