Montgomery County commissioners adopted the 2025 Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan on Aug. 4, a required update county officials said is needed for eligibility for many federal and state hazard mitigation grants.
The county mayor noted the plan is required periodically and is a precondition for certain grant applications. The resolution (2585) was placed on the consent agenda and was advanced with no discussion recorded in the transcript.
