County Exec-elect Marc Elrich Listening Tour Stops in Olney

County Executive-elect Marc Elrich is holding a series of meetings to listen to residents concerns about the county.

Elrich will be sworn in as the next County Executive Dec. 3. He is working with his transition team to establish priorities and ensure residents have a voice. To that end, Elrich is holding a series of meetings designed to provide citizens, stakeholders, and officials an opportunity to let him hear their thoughts and priorities about the most critical issues facing the county.

Thursday, Elrich was in Olney where residents expressed concerns with mental health services, schools, traffic and the planned location of a medical marijuana dispensary. Montgomery Community Media streamed the session live.

Watch Thursday’s meeting in its entirety:

“I encourage all residents to attend our upcoming listening sessions and visit our transition website at www.elrichtransition.com, said Marc Elrich. “My goal is to unify this county and listen to citizens, stakeholders, and fellow officials regarding their priorities.
