Planning Board Schedules Public Information Meeting on New Headquarters Project

Silver Spring, MD -- As Montgomery County planners continue to work on an agreement between the agency and the development team selected to build SilverPlace – a proposed mixed-use development project that includes a new headquarters for Park and Planning – staff will hold an informational community meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 10.

The mixed-use development is proposed to include affordable housing units, retail space and the headquarters, which would replace the agency’s current old, cramped quarters at the corner of Spring Street and Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring.

So far, the Planning Board has selected a development team to design and construct the project. No decisions have been made about the design, specific location or height of the project.

Tuesday's meeting is to keep the public and surrounding neighbors informed of the Project's progress and future timeline. To learn more, go to http://www.mcparkandplanning.org/planning/silverplace/index.shtm.
