This is one of a series of lesson plans taken from the State of Maryland’s Teacher’s Resource Guide on Growth and Its Impacts. Teachers can use the plan to illustrate how the costs of a community are impacted by different land uses.

This resource guide has the following objectives:

  • Identify the types of services that are provided to citizens by a County/local government.
  • Evaluate the tax revenue versus the costs of delivering services to different types of development.
  • Use current data to evaluate whether a development will make or cost the County taxpayer dollars.
  • Evaluate the advantages of spatial relations to delivery of services.
