Members
As a part of approving the 2005 Olney Master Plan, the Montgomery County Council directed the Maryland National Park & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) to establish a Olney Town Center Advisory Committee to refine the guidance in the Olney Master Plan by creating a community-supported town center concept that will serve as a guide to future developers. Download a fact sheet on the committee here. The Park and Planning staff solicited volunteers to serve on this Committee. Their goal was to create a well-balanced committee that represented a broad cross-section of the community and all interested-parties, but was still a manageable size. On May 4, 2006, the M-NCPPC Planning Board approved the membership of this Advisory Committee.
