Potomac Community Center

Speakers: Open Forum Meeting - Bring Your Concerns
Topics:
Each year we devote at least one meeting to a more complete discussion of issues
we've been following, and offer the public a chance to bring topics of concern.
Through this process, we've been able to help members with problems such as
development proposals, illegal tree cutting, parkland encroachment, and Special
Exceptions. Our Directors and Committee chairs will cover a range of current
WMCCA efforts, including the Potomac Swim Club legal case, current sewer
category change requests (especially the Glenstone Foundation sewer proposal on
Glen Road and the Glen Hills sewer study), cell tower radiation levels, latest
updates on the Brickyard Road school site proposal for soccer fields, Nick's
Organic Farm, the Forest Conservation/Tree Canopy bill still stalled at DEP, and
County Council budget cutting and its implications for our parks and services.
We welcome the opportunity to share our expertise and discuss your issues. As
always, the public is invited.
When farmers bartered for supplies at Perry's store in
1880, they never dreamed what Potomac would be like today. Expansion and
development, new homes and families, new services and community organizations
have swollen its every crevice. The "village" has expanded to be home and
shopping center for thousands. Yet so much remains constant.
The rolling hills, the wide expanses of green, the pristine streams and shaded rural roads relieve our eyes and revive our spirits. The natural beauty our forefathers loved and absorbed remains a part of us all; it draws us close and delights our visitors.
That our area remains a cherished hamlet, a distinct
"Green Wedge," is no accident, no fluke.
Indeed, much of what we hold dear is due to the vigilance and dedication of caring volunteers working tirelessly through the West Montgomery County Citizens Association.
We invite you to become one of the team to insure the continued beauty of this area. If you are interested in preserving the beauty of Potomac, please become a member.
