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 http://www.daicsearch.org/planning_board/testify.asp (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.
