GERMANTOWN, MD—The Montgomery County Department of Parks, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) will host a second community meeting on Thursday, January 27 on the new park, Seneca Crossing Local Park, 28 acres located along Brink Road at the intersection with Ridge Road (Route 27) in Germantown.
This community meeting is the next step in facility planning for the new park. During this meeting, Department of Parks staff will discuss the project background and present 4 plans that illustrate a variety of options and ideas for the park. Participants will have an opportunity to provide input on these design options. Input received during this meeting will be used to develop a preferred plan for the park, which will be presented to the Montgomery County Planning Board for approval in summer 2011.
The first community meeting on this project was held February 18, 2010. Fifty attendees provided input and ideas on the preliminary concepts for the new park.
