Research

Introduction

MACo conducts research projects largely involving the participation of county government professionals. Research is conducted upon request by General Assembly members, General Assembly Committees, county elected or appointed officials, or in the course of advising the Legislative Commitee on pending legislation impacting county government. Some survey results should be viewed via "Survey Monkey." (on-line survey service) Results may be viewed in detail or in a summary as desired. Others are provided in a PDF format or Power Point presentation.

We recommend the MD Department of Legislative Services (DLS) 300-page Local Government Handbook (pdf)
