Citizen Advisory Board Capital Improvements Program Budget Forum

Citizen Advisory Boards to Host Capital Improvements Program Budget Forums in July

Individuals and groups are invited to provide input into the County’s next six-year capital construction budget by attending public forums that will be held in July by local citizen advisory boards. The forums will help define construction and planning priorities for the various regions in the County as officials begin developing the Fiscal Years 2013 to 2018 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) budget.

The CIP includes costs for new or renovated major projects such as roads, public schools, Montgomery College facilities, water and sewer lines, parks, libraries, health and recreation facilities, and other public buildings and projects.

The schedule for forums in each regional area is listed below:

• Silver Spring – Monday, July 11, 7 p.m. at the Silver Spring Civic Building, One Veterans Place, Silver Spring, 240-777-5300;

• Upcounty – Wednesday, July 13, 7 p.m. at the Upcounty Regional Services Center, 12900 Middlebrook Road, Germantown, 240-777-8000;

• Bethesda-Chevy Chase – Monday, July 18, 7 p.m. at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center, 4805 Edgemoor Lane, Bethesda, 240-777-8200;

• Mid-County – Tuesday, July 19, 7 p.m. at the Mid-County Regional Services Center, 2424 Reedie Drive, Wheaton, 240-777-8100; and

• Eastern County – Wednesday, July 20, 7 p.m. at the Eastern Montgomery Regional Services Center, 3300 Briggs Chaney Road, Silver Spring, 240-777-8400.

Suggestions and comments from participants will be considered by the regional citizen advisory boards for inclusion in the funding priority lists they submit to the County Executive. The lists will also be shared with County departments and agencies for their consideration as they formulate the CIP for their departments.
