Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich discusses how artificial intelligence and innovation boot camps are enhancing services for County residents in the latest edition of the What’s Happening MoCo podcast, which was recorded at the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) summer conference in Ocean City. He also shares how he is personally embracing the County's environmental protection guidance by “living green” in his own life.
This episode is the second in a two-part series from the MACo conference and also features interviews with Montgomery County Councilmembers Gabe Albornoz and Dawn Luedtke. Councilmember Albornoz addresses the challenges local hospitals face that contribute to extended emergency room wait times. Councilmember Luedtke highlights the importance of collaboration at the MACo conference to advance initiatives that benefit County residents.
