The 2013 Finksburg Corridor Plan is an update to the 1981 Finksburg Area and Environs Comprehensive Plan. It reflects the desires expressed by residents and business people to enhance their community. Chief among these are the desire to remove the Community Planning Area (CPA) designation from the area outside of the designated Finksburg Corridor, enhance the aesthetics and traffic flow in the MD 140 corridor, and protect the integrity of the area's environmental resources.

The Finksburg Corridor Plan focuses on a much smaller area, addressing only the MD 140 corridor from the County line west to approximately Kays Mill Road. The balance of the 1981 CPA is addressed through the 2014 Carroll County Master Plan.

Sustainable Communities Designation

In April 2019 the Finksburg Community received a Sustainable Communities designation from the State of Maryland Smart Growth Subcommittee.
