So honored!!!

Our planners and collaborators who organized the awesome Damascus Placemaking Festival last October 19-20 won a Merit Award for Analysis and Planning from the Maryland Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects!

Montgomery Planning's Don Zeigler, Patrick Butler, and festival lead Audrey Vogel joined our project partners Design Collective and Graham Projects at the awards ceremony May 6 at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

Thank you to the Damascus community who joined us that weekend to make the (now award-winning) festival a great success and a platform to show the power of placemaking!

Congrats to our friends Montgomery Parks for a fantastic Sligo Creek Fest this past weekend!

We had a blast hosting an information table handing out some Planning gear and chatting with folks about our upcoming Wheels in Wheaton event and the Community Planning Academy.

We’re proud to have supported the revitalization of the historic Flower Theater in Long Branch – the recently announced winner of the Excellence in Restoration Award from Maryland Historical Trust

The Montgomery Housing Partnership restored the 1950s-era theater’s Streamline Moderne historic façade after decades of decay. Its iconic neon sign has been revived, its marquee relit, and its ticket booth renewed using original materials and techniques.

Our Historic Preservation Office gave the housing partnership technical advice on grant applications and permits requirements to do the upgrades.

Check out our short video about the restoration of this cultural landmark and community gem: https://bit.ly/3SqgRMU
