Boyds Master Plan

Approved and Adopted February 1985

"Somewhat isolated from the urban metropolis of "down-County" and the District of Columbia, its residents highly value its serenity and seek to protect it from urban encroachment. ...It is the intent of this Plan to address those needs which are critical to rural areas in a manner which is sensitive to the community and not simply an attempt to adapt urban concepts to a rural scale."

From the Introduction, Boyds Master Plan (1985), pp. 2-3
