MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD—Montgomery County’s Department of Recreation and the Montgomery County Department of Parks, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, will co-host two community meetings to gather input from the public regarding the delivery of recreational services and programs being offered by both agencies. In April 2009, the County Council’s Planning, Housing, and Economic Development (PHED) Committee requested that the two departments issue a report by October 1 with recommendations for improving the delivery of recreational programming to county residents.
The meetings are scheduled as follows:
- Wednesday, June 17 at 7 p.m. – The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek, 14500-A Clopper Road, Boyds; and
- Wednesday, June 24 at 7 p.m. – Gwendolyn E. Coffield Community Center, 2450 Lyttonsville Road, Silver Spring.
Representatives of both departments will be on hand to review the Council’s directive, present a proposed schedule and workplan that meets the Council’s October 1 deadline and solicit feedback on the proposed approach. Participants will also have an opportunity to voice their opinions and ask questions.
For more information, call 240-777-6800.
