SILVER SPRING, MD – The Montgomery County Planning Department, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), invites residents to attend an online community meeting for the Advancing the Pike District project on May 19 (starting at 7 p.m.).

Online meeting attendees will be able to watch presentations, participate in interactive polls and ask planners questions through a question-and-answer function. Interested parties are also encouraged to submit questions to Planning Department staff in advance of the meeting.

The meeting will be hosted on Microsoft Teams and a live link will be made available on the meeting’s event page. A recording of the meeting will be posted to the project website following the event.

About Advancing the Pike District

Advancing the Pike District is a Montgomery Planning initiative to accelerate the transformation of White Flint’s core into a walkable, mixed-use district by identifying short- and medium-term implementation-focused solutions that build on the Sector Plan’s recommendations, enhance mobility, and promote economic development, urban design and placemaking. The project revisits and builds upon the recommendations from the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan, which has guided infrastructure improvements and development in the White Flint area over the past decade, with the goal of accelerating White Flint’s transformation.
