Due to Time Constraints, Public Testimony On Woodmont East Case Limited to Three Hours

SILVER SPRING, MD – Due to time constraints and the 12 other items on the Montgomery County Planning Board’s agenda for tomorrow, testimony on the Woodmont East case will be limited to three hours. Nearly 30 interested residents have already signed up to testify.

The proposed project would bring a combination of condominiums, offices, retail and a hotel to 2½ acres at Woodmont and Bethesda avenues in Bethesda. Residents have expressed concern about open space in the downtown area and access to the popular Capital Crescent bike trail.

The Woodmont East case is scheduled to begin at approximately 2:30 p.m.

Planning Board Chairman Royce Hanson will ask all testifiers to shorten their remarks so that as many people as possible can be heard in the three-hour window.

The hearing will be held at Park and Planning Headquarters, 8787 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring.
