Find out why on page 4. Multiuse Facility By Link Hoewing In December of last year, County Executive Marc Elrich heeded calls from local citizens and came out to a “listening session” in Poolesville. He heard numerous citizens talk about the need for a new high school and about the failure of the county to pro- vide the same level of services for citizens in this area as it does elsewhere. On January 15, Elrich announced his capital and operating budget amend- ments that will be considered by the County Council.

The origin of Sugarland Forest, an African-American community estab- lished by freed slaves in Poolesville, began with the purchase of land from the local white landowners which in- cluded Jane Pleasants, George Daw- son, the Allnuts, and others during the 1870s and 1880s. They were able to buy land with a small down payment and continued monthly payments, and when the land was paid for, a deed was recorded. These transactions were accomplished by handshake. No mortgage deeds were recorded. By 1900, over forty families lived and worked on the nearly two hun- dred acres of farmland encompassing the community. Their work on nearby farms, the Seneca Quarry, and the The Sugarland Community Well: Children in the background are: C&O Canal was instrumental in the Mary Smith, Marjorie Lee, Sarah Lee, Tilghman Lee, Jr., and Idella Lee.

  • White Flint 2 Sector Plan
    Approved and Adopted JANUARY 2018 Abstract This Plan contains the text and supporting maps for a comprehensive amendment to the approved and adopted 1992North Bethesda/Garrett Park Master Plan and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan, as amended. It also amends The General Plan (On Wedges and Corridors) for the Physical Development of the Mary- land-Washington Regional District in Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, as amended, the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways, as amended, and the Countywide Bikeways Functional Master Plan, as amended. This Plan focuses on land use, appropriate density and mobility options for 460 acres located be- tween three areas: the City of Rockville, the 2009 Twinbrook Sector Plan area and the 2010 White Flint Sector Plan area. Recommendations are made for zoning, urban design, public facilities and streets. Master and sector plans convey land use policy for defined geographic areas and should be interpreted together with relevant countywide functional plans and County laws and regulations. Plan recommendations provide comprehensive guidelines for the use of public and private land; and should be referred to by pub- lic officials and private individuals when making land use decisions. Public and private land use decisions that promote plan goals are essential to fulling a plan’s vision. Master and sector plans look ahead 20 years from the date of the adoption, although they are intended to be revised every 10 to 15 years. Moreover, the circumstances when a plan is adopted will change and the specifics of a plan may become less relevant over time. Plans do not specify all development possi- bilities.

Case No.: _______________ PLAINTIFFS, v. TRAVIS A. GAYLES, et al. DEFENDANTS. PLAINTIFFS’ MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF TEMPORARY, PRELIMINARY, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF On Friday evening, after business hours, and without warning, the Montgomery County Health Officer abruptly announced that all private and religious schools in Montgomery County are “prohibited from physically re-opening for in-person instruction through October 1, 2020.” This blanket order, directed only at religious and private schools, purports to effectively prevent more than 23,000 Montgomery County students from returning to school in the coming weeks. The surprise order was stunning in its abruptness and timing. It was issued on the eve of school reopening, without notice to parents, students, or schools. Families had paid tuition and made firm enrollment decisions. Most schools had spent months researching, planning and installing expensive retrofitting of their schools, following CDC and State guidelines for reopening. Since the pandemic broke in March, neither State nor County government has found it necessary to issue any order directed at religious or private schools prior to this one. And the order was not in response to any COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, there has not been a single 1 Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 2 of 47 reported COVID-19 cases in any Montgomery County religious or private school during the pandemic.

  • Attachment 4
    ATTACHMENT 4 OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE Rockville, Maryland 20850 Marc Elrich County Executive August 14, 2020 Dear Chair Anderson and members of the Planning Board, The attached document presents the Executive branch’s comments on the June 11, 2020 draft of the Thrive Montgomery 2050 proposed amendment to the General Plan. Also enclosed is my letter to the County Council asking for a six-month postponement in the General Plan review schedule. I am requesting the postponement to allow the County to focus its resources in the immediate future on the public health challenges and economic ramifications of the pandemic. Simply put, the Executive departments are otherwise focused on dealing with Covid-19 and would welcome more time to collaborate with the Planning Department to resolve the many issues they identify in the draft plan. Here are my additional comments and questions on the draft plan: I. The Process—The Purpose of the General Plan, renamed “Thrive Montgomery 2050.” The General Plan and amendments (1964, 1969, 1993) tell a story of the County’s history and growth, presenting a shared vision of the residents, Executive, and Council. The plan’s vision is inspiring, concise, and written in everyday language for any resident or member of government to read casually. Until now. Thrive Montgomery 2050 is a document for planners, weighed down by “planners’ speak,” with far too many goals, policies and actions intended for now and seemingly mandatory. It sets out what MNCPPC is going to do—not the County--with 72 references to “study, create, develop, prepare or initiate” something, all of which are initiated by MNCPPC.
