Proposed Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2025-2030

The public is being invited to give input (written, online, in person) about the Parks Dept’s Proposed Capital Improvements Program for Fiscal Years 2025-2030 at an evening public forum in front of the Planning Board on Thursday 9.7.2023 at 7 pm. 

This would be a good opportunity for you to express your concerns to the Planning Board about Willard Avenue Neighborhood Park — remember, 

  1. the two Parks-owned houses at River Road entrance will be torn this Fall and we don’t know what’s proposed to relace them;
  2. we don’t know what long term improvements will be made to the park;
  3. and, we don’t know if Parks can budget for another park to be built (perhaps near Western/Friendship Blvd).

The Planning Board agenda for 9.7.2023 has not yet been posted, but you can still sign up to speak. See https://montgomeryparks.org/montgomery-parks-seeks-public-input-for-the-capital-improvements-program-for-fiscal-years-2025-2030/.
