North Bethesda’s downtown?

Mark N October 10th, 2007

Work continues on the White Flint Sector Plan: The Gazette reports on the recent meeting between Planning Board members, developers, and residents.

Nearly 50 developers and residents packed the room Monday night to hear Planning Board members’ thoughts on how staff should craft the White Flint Sector Plan.

The draft, expected in December, will define future roads, schools and business and residential districts for the North Bethesda center.

‘‘This will be North Bethesda’s downtown,” said Margaret Rifkin, of the community planning division with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. The area, she told the Planning Board, is well suited for a housing center and marketplace rather than a dense commerce center as found near the Bethesda or Silver Spring Metro Stations.
