With the heat index exceeding triple digits across the entire region, this week is a reminder of why our mission is so urgent.  This month offers many opportunities to advance smart growth in your community.

Although Montgomery County’s primary election is now behind us (find the most current results here!), the action is not slowing down in July. Crucial work on several master plans in the county continues apace.

We wish to express our enthusiasm for the county’s innovative missing middle study to address the housing needs of a range of residents. This effort will investigate how to broaden housing options to ensure Prince George’s is a great place to grow up, enjoy young adulthood, raise a family, and age in the community.

There are two opportunities this week to get involved in shaping the vision for the Duke Street corridor. Provide feedback on their draft Land Use Plan framework before it closes this Friday, June 26, and attend the next community meeting on Monday, June 29!  

CSG and partners have been pressing the county and VDOT to redesign its roads, especially these dangerous arterials, to be safer for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving.
