Montgomery County Planning Board Seeks Public Comments on Twinbrook Plan

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
PLANNING BOARD SEEKS

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON
TWINBROOK PLAN


SILVER SPRING, MD –
Residents, property owners and others interested in
the future of Twinbrook can learn more and respond to a draft of the sector
plan at a public hearing scheduled for Thursday
Nov. 15 at Park and Planning Headquarters in Silver Spring
.

Planners have been working with the community to develop a Twinbrook
sector plan – a document that guides growth in the area for the next 15-20 years.
Twinbrook is located in North Bethesda along Rockville Pike.

The draft envisions Twinbrook, part of Montgomery County’s
Technology Corridor, as a community that mixes residential, light industrial,
commercial and high-tech industry. The plan calls for a new level of urban
mixed uses and provides new opportunities for entrepreneurship, access to mass
transit, and public features like new urban parks and pedestrian-friendly
sidewalks and paths.

The Planning Board will consider public comments on the plan’s
recommendations this fall during a series of work sessions and hearings. Public
comments will help shape the plan’s final recommendations. Those wishing to participate can sign up in
advance to testify at (select Nov. 15 in
the date drop-down menu). Or call us at
301-495-4600 or e-mail us with your name
and address and ask to be put on the Twinbrook public hearing list.
