Kent County, MD- On November 17th, Kent Attainable Housing (KAH) received a 2022 Sustainable Growth Award from the Maryland Department of Planning in the Sustainable Communities category at their 10th annual awards ceremony. Maryland’s Sustainable Growth Awards recognize people and projects that advance sustainable growth and conservation in Maryland. Specifically, these awards highlight development that addresses at least one or more of Maryland’s 12 Planning Visions.

“Sustainable growth is key to the future of Maryland. Our administration takes great pride in these awards and celebrates the perseverance of the recipients to change Maryland for the better,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “These awards recognize people and projects from across the state that bring creativity, innovation, and resourcefulness to our communities.”

KAH was one of the eight winners and six honorable mention awards for individuals and organizations that demonstrate their commitment to sustainable growth – development or redevelopment that is compact, walkable, and takes advantage of existing infrastructure while preserving the rural landscape in Maryland.

“I congratulate the award recipients for their steadfast commitment to revitalizing and improving the communities of Maryland,” said Maryland Department of Planning Secretary Robert McCord. “These individuals and programs demonstrate the best approaches to sustainability while considering the needs and uses of both the built and natural environments.”
