Earlier today our team guided Planning Board and community members on a tour of the Friendship Heights Sector Plan area, bringing the plan to life.

The tour featured eight key stops, including Wisconsin Avenue, Hubert Humphrey Park, Reynolds House, the former GEICO headquarters, and more. Thank you to everyone who joined for this on-the-ground look at the vision for the next 30 years of Friendship Heights. 🌳🏙️

Looking ahead to what's next for the plan, the Planning Board is holding its public hearing on September 10 and 14. Sign up to testify: https://bit.ly/3w3jV5M
