Yes, the Subdivision Staging Policy (SSP) sounds dull. IT’S NOT — SERIOUSLY, IT’S ACTUALLY INTERESTING. And it’s critically important. The SSP ensures that transportation and schools keep pace with development in Montgomery County. It’s the reason the White Flint/Pike District area is currently in a building moratorium.
The Planning Department wants to know what you think as it develops the 2020 Subdivision Staging Plan. So please, attend this hour-long meeting, learn about the SSP, and give the Planning Department your feedback.
The meeting will take place Tuesday, February 4, 7:00 pm at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Rd, Rockville, MD 20852. There is free two-hour parking at the conference center.
Here’s the meeting agenda:
7:00 Welcome and introductions
7:05 Presentation on the new North Bethesda
Village
7:15 Advocacy Update: Second Metro Entrance, Rockville Pike Improvements, February 8 Advocacy and Memorial Event
7:20 Presentation and discussion on the Subdivision Staging Policy (SSP) with the Planning Department
