<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#252525">Anne Arundel County is a wonderful place, which is why more people want to come here to live and work. However, an increasing population
puts stress on our schools, roads and public safety. To manage these stresses, our administration is committed to smart growth in areas with adequate infrastructure and to preservation of our rural lands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
