Naomi Bloch, representing the Trachtenberg office, attended last night’s meeting of the East County Citizens Advisory Board.
The Board meets the first Monday of every month at the East County Regional Services Center which is located at 3300 Briggs Chaney Road in Silver Spring.
Citizens in attendance last night expressed concerns about crime rates and traffic safety.
This was followed by presentations from:
Steve Silverman, Director, Department of Economic Development
Jonathan Genn, Executive Vice President & General Counsel, Percontee, Inc. and
Robert Jepson, Associate Vice President, Washington Adventist Healthcare
They presented information of the FDA's important role to the area and how that adds positively to the development plans for a Science Village in the East County. A very lengthy and in-depth discussion took place concerning this project as well as other types of development in Eastern Montgomery County especially with regard to jobs creation.
County Executive, Ike Leggett will be at the East County Regional Services Center on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 from 7:00 to 8:30pm to conduct a budget forum in order to seek input from residents about the challenges facing the County in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2011 Operating Budget.
