Last week, Rebecca L. Flora, AICP, Secretary of Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) and Chair of the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA), spoke at the 30th anniversary celebration of the Maryland Heritage Areas Program about the tremendous impact the program has had on the state. MHAA oversees the program, which is administered by the Maryland Historical Trust, part of MDP.

"Over $99 million dollars has been appropriated over the past 30 years," remarked Secretary Flora, "It's so critical that people understand the Maryland Heritage Areas Program is part of how we help our economy grow in Maryland and still treasure all of those special [historic] places and people across the state."
