next in line
"At the time, I think it was a breakthrough," said David Goldberg, communications director for Smart Growth America, a nonprofit group that lobbies nationally for the concept. "Oregon's state planning is far and away the most comprehensive and probably the most effective. But Maryland's smart-growth program is next in line."
What I got "next in line" is that if Oregon's planning is the first in line, then Maryland's is the second. Right?

Hi Jobb,
My take is that is simply a name that Maryland gave to their planning system. They called it the "smart growth" planning system.
