Twinbrook Sector Plan Update

Summary of Land Use Recommendations
Wednesday, January 12, 2005, 7 -9 p.m.

Twinbrook Recreation Center
12920 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, Maryland

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission's Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning is inviting residents, businesses and organizations to attend a meeting to review summary land use recommendations for the Twinbrook Sector Plan. Come listen and discuss these recommendations with the planners and fellow community members.

In early 2005, the M-NCPPC will present the Staff Draft Plan to the Montgomery County Planning Board. After review of the Staff Draft Plan, the Planning Board will set a date for the Public Hearing to listen to comments from the community before beginning its work sessions to refine the plan. After the worksessions are complete, the Planning Board will transmit the Planning Board Draft of the Twinbrook Sector Plan to the Montgomery County Council for its Public Hearing and worksessions. A final approved and adopted plan will be completed in early 2006.

For more information, contact Sandy Tallant, Community-Based Planning, 301-495-1329, sandra.tallant@mncppc-mc.org; or Kristin O'Connor, Community-Based Planning, 301-495-2172, kristin.oconnor@mncppc-mc.org.
