Thursday, April 24, 2003, 7:30 P.M.
Montgomery Regional Office Building Auditorium
8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910

Montgomery County Planning Board and the Montgomery County Recreation Advisory Boards invite public comments at a joint public forum on park and recreation projects to be included in the FY 05-1 CIP. This forum provides the public an opportunity to comment before the Department of Park and Planning and the Department of Recreation begin preparing their Capital Improvements Programs. These two programs are completely separate, but they are of concern to similar interest groups since many recreation activities occur on park property.

Sign up by calling (301) 650-2890 prior to noon, April 24. Sign ups will be accepted at the door if space is available (limit 50 speakers). Written testimony is encouraged. Please submit written testimony prior to May 8, 2003, to Derick P. Berlage, Chairman, Montgomery County Planning Board, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Md 20910. Additional information about the Department of Park and Planning’s CIP is available at Parkside Headquarters, 9500 Brunett Avenue, Room 107, Silver Spring, (301) 495-2511, or at the UpCounty Service Center, 12900 Middlebrook Road, Germantown, (240)773-3400.
