The Montgomery County Planning Department, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), is initiating a mixed-use development project at 8787 Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring. This project will encompass residential, retail, and green spaces in a vibrant urban setting, including the implementation of sustainability measures such as tree planting and improved pedestrian and bicycle circulation. The development, which will feature up to 400 residential units and commercial space including a MOM's Organic Market, is the result of a strategic public-private partnership to relocate M-NCPPC to downtown Wheaton. Despite the removal of five specimen trees necessary for underground parking, the project will enhance the area with additional open space and extensive native landscaping. Generated from the website
