SILVER SPRING, MD – To exchange ideas with residents and others about Montgomery County park and planning issues, Planning Board Chairman Royce Hanson has launched a weblog on the agency’s website.
Residents may visit http://mncppc.typepad.com/chairman/ to offer their views in what Hanson hopes will be an interactive forum for people to have their say about issues of interest to the community.
In the busy summer ahead, the Board will consider amendments to the county’s forest conservation law, put the final touches on development review procedures, review recommendations for a new master plan for the community of Twinbrook, among other tasks,
“Residents who are unable to take time off work to come to the Board meetings to testify or feel particularly strongly about certain issues will have an easy way to get my ear,” Hanson said. “I encourage anyone with a point of view to submit an entry on my blog.”
Hanson kicked off the blog with his thoughts on the Planning Board’s recommended 2007 Growth Policy, which will be considered by the County Council this summer.
