[RP TownTalk] District Council to Vote on Cafritz, Monday, July 9, in Upper Marlboro

[Melissa Avery]

At this point in time there is no guarantee that Whole Foods will be the grocery store. also the recent problems from the storm should serve as a wake up call about the problems the area will be facing with over development.

Get your RED on!


The Prince George’s District Council is set to vote on rezoning the Calvert Tract from single-family 
residential to Mixed-Use Town Center.  


As a reminder, M-UTC zoning is intended to revitalize existing, run down mixed-use areas, not for new development.  There are many, many such appropriate places close by that we could welcome a Whole Foods into, without also accepting a thousand new dwellings unsupported by any new infrastructure other than a bridge to a business park that no-one will use.



The vote will be THIS Monday, July 9, 2012, 10 a.m.


 
County Council Hearing Room, First Floor

 
4741 Gov. Oden Bowie Drive

 
Upper Marlboro, MD 20772

There will be no opportunity to speak or testify, but if you oppose this, please consider showing your commitment by showing up and wearing red.  And, please pass it on to your neighbors and friends.

If you support the proposal, please stay home, or don't take off work.  =)


Thanks!
Andrew Farrington
Queensbury Road
