Montgomery County Board of Supervisors Meeting 6-22-2026

The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 22, 2026, which included a closed session discussing prospective business expansions. The board conducted public hearings on the Montgomery Matters future land use map and village plans, including the addition of a new action item for a future park in the Prices Fork community. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a comprehensive assessment of fire and rescue services, presented by consultant Frank Edwards from Mission CIT. The study highlighted challenges such as data inconsistencies, resource allocation, and the need for improved system-wide coordination, recommending phased improvements including new fire marshal and fire inspector positions, enhanced recruitment and retention strategies, and potential new fire and EMS station locations. The board also discussed a proposed personal property tax incentive for active volunteer fire and rescue personnel, considering tax rate options around $1.00 per $100 of assessed vehicle value, with plans to schedule a public hearing on the matter. Additional topics included updates on environmental concerns related to the Swan Compressor Station, community engagement efforts, and recognition of county awards. The meeting concluded with consensus to move forward with the tax incentive public hearing and ongoing work sessions on fire and rescue services.
