Origins of the Sustainable Growth Subcabinet trace to January 1998, when the Governor formed the Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Subcabinet (Executive Order 01.01.1998.04). It was reformed in July 2001 by the General Assembly as the Smart Growth Subcabinet (Chapter 566, Acts of 2001). In October 2024, the General Assembly reorganized it as the Sustainable Growth Subcabinet (Chapters 91 & 92, Acts of 2024).

The Subcabinet helps implement Sustainable Growth Policy, recommending to the Governor changes in State law, regulations, and procedures needed to support the Policy (Chapter 759, Acts of 1997). Since 2003, the Subcabinet also oversees the Priority Places Strategy (Executive Order 01.01.2003.33). Further, the Subcabinet works to create, enhance, support, and revitalize sustainable communities across Maryland (Chapter 487, Acts of 2010; Code State Government Article, sec. 9-1406).
