  • 3.1 Location of the NIH Bethesda Campus in the Region
    NIH Master Plan 2003 Update Chapter Three The Community Context of the Bethesda Campus Chapter 3 - Page 55 NIH Master Plan 2003 Update 3.1 Location of the NIH Bethesda Campus in the Region 3.1.1 General The NIH main campus is located in Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the largest jurisdictions in the Washington, D.C. region. As a result of expansion of the urbanized area, cross-commuting patterns, and other economic interrelationships, the federal government designated a broader Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA). A CMSA is a geographic entity defined by the Federal Office of Management and Budget for use by federal statistical agencies. An area becomes a CMSA if it meets the requirements to qualify as a metropolitan statistical area, has a population of 1,000,000 or more, if component parts are recognized as Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and if local opinion favors the designation. This CMSA encompasses both the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas, embracing an area of nearly 9,600 square miles circumscribed by a 75-mile radius around downtown Washington, D.C. It includes communities from the Pennsylvania border to Calvert and Charles Counties in southern Maryland and on southward in Virginia to Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County (nearly to the edge of metropolitan Richmond). From Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the CMSA extends westward beyond the City of Hagerstown and Washington County in western Maryland to Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia. The area is expanding at a very rapid rate - with a 2000 Census population of 7,608,070 - with communities and employment spreading over an ever-widening geographic area.
