Informations générales

The Rural Maryland Council, an independent State agency, brings together rural leaders, government officials at all levels, and representatives of the nonprofit and for-profit sectors to identify and craft solutions to the challenges facing rural Maryland. Ultimately, our mission is to improve quality of life while preserving the cultural heritage of Maryland’s rural communities.

The RMC is also one of 28 federally recognized State rural development councils in the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Rural Development Partnership. State rural development councils are collaborative partnerships comprised of the private and nonprofit sectors and government agencies at all levels. Their goals are to increase economic and social opportunities for rural citizens and to increase the viability of rural communities.
