The Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) has notified the MCA that it would like to construct 31 townhomes to house students who are obtaining advanced education degrees through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The townhomes would be constructed on property owned by FAES bordered by West Cedar Lane, Cypress Avenue, and Acacia Avenue.
There are many zoning, environmental, design and habitability issues associated with the FAES proposal.

To join the committee, please contact MCA president Allen Myers or leave a message on the MCA hotline at 301-530-6080, or by signing up at the September 24th meeting.
