Regional parks and land-use planning agency for two Maryland counties
M-NCPPC operates a 52,000-acre park system across Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, managing recreation programs, planning services, and conservation efforts for over 1 million residents. The agency runs a GIS-heavy stack (ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, Survey123) alongside operational tools (UKG, SQL, Snowplow), with 75 roles posted in the last 30 days concentrated in operations and parks management—reflecting active expansion of park maintenance, environmental monitoring (eDNA), and community programming rather than technology modernization.
Notable leadership hires: Summer Program Director, Assistant Division Chief, Division Chief
The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission is a bi-county government agency chartered in 1927 to acquire, develop, maintain, and administer parks and coordinate land-use planning across Montgomery and Prince George's Counties. The agency governs a 10-member commission (5 appointed per county) that meets monthly and oversees a staff of planners, park administrators, park police, and seasonal recreation workers. Core responsibilities span park operations (stream valley parks, regional parks, neighborhood parks), public recreation programming, GIS mapping, and landscape planning. Current initiatives include stormwater management, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure planning, environmental assessments, and expanded community engagement through festivals and summer programming.
ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and Survey123 are primary platforms. The agency also uses SQL for data management and Snowplow for event tracking across planning and parks operations.
Active projects include stormwater outfall assessments, environmental DNA monitoring, pedestrian and bicycle planning, park maintenance implementation, and expanded community programming (concerts, festivals, special tours).
