You're Invited to Join Us to Kick Off the Update to the Germantown Master Plan
Wednesday, May 31, 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Black Rock Center for the Arts, Germantown

To begin updating the 1989 Germantown Master Plan, the Montgomery County Department of Planning you're invited to participate in a civic forum on Wednesday, May 31 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. with discussion by community and business leaders. The forum will take place at the Black Rock Center for the Arts, 12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown.

Montgomery County Councilmember Michael Knapp (District 2, Upcounty) will moderate the discussion on the future of the employment corridor identified in the 1989 Germantown Master Plan. Panel participants include:

• Allison Bryant, Ph.D., Montgomery County Planning Board
• Royce Hanson, former Planning Board Chairman for the 1974 Germantown Master Plan
• Steve Poteat, former Upcounty Regional Services Center Director
• John Carter, Chief, Community-Based Planning Division.

The panel will discuss the past, present and future of the area along the I-270 High Technology Employment Corridor in Germantown. Participants will explore the relationship between transportation infrastructure and land use planning in a community where residential and retail elements are nearly built out.

More information, including the current Germantown Master Plan, is available online at http://www.mc-mncppc.org/community/plan_areas/I270_corridor/master_plans/germantownmp0789/germantown0789.shtm
