Here's the Working/Staff Draft of the White Flint 2 Plan, and It's Being Presented to the Planning Board This Afternoon
The Planning Department has released the White Flint 2 Sector Plan Working/Staff Draft. Frankly, Friends of White Flint Executive Director Amy Ginsburg is still making her way through the 96-page plan. It’s long, it’s complex, it’s mostly interesting, but it is important.
You can read or skim the plan by clicking here. Our goal is to publish a summary of the plan at some point soon, but a detailed 96-page plan will not have a short, quick, or easy summary.
The Planning Board Public Hearing on this plan is Thursday, December 15. More information regarding the public hearing will be posted on the Planning Department's White Flint 2 web page. However, staff will present the plan to the Planning Board this afternoon. You can watch it live through the Planning Board website, if you’re curious to hear what the staff has to say.
Happy reading!
