Montgomery County Staff Evaluating Report on Development Financing in Emerging New Upcounty Town
 
ROCKVILLE, Md., March 21, 2007—Montgomery County Council President Marilyn Praisner said today that the County will “carefully and seriously” look at a report released Tuesday by the Clarksburg Town Center Advisory Committee (CTCAC) that questions whether developers should be paying more for infrastructure improvements in the emerging new upcounty community or if the improvements should be paid for through development districts.
 
 “Anytime a community member makes known a concern, we take it very seriously,” said Praisner. “The issue of development districts is complex. Without prejudging any issue, the County Council, the Executive Branch and the Planning Board must carefully review the entire report.”
