The Montgomery County Planning Department invites residents, business owners, and all interested parties to participate in the Gaithersburg West Master Plan (GWMP) update. This Master Plan will update the 1990 Shady Grove Study Area Master Plan and portions of the 1985 Gaithersburg Vicinity Master Plan. The area covered by the GWMP is shown on the map on page 2 and includes all of the areas in blue with bold lettering. The GWMP does not include any areas within the municipal boundaries of the City of Gaithersburg or the City of Rockville.

The Master Plan update is focused on the future of the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center (LSC) and the alignment and stations for the Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT). At the first meeting on October 29, Planning Department staff will present an overview of the Master Plan process, area-wide issues, and the ideas that are under consideration for the Life Sciences Center,  which includes the Belward property and areas around Shady Grove Adventist Hospital. Those attending can participate in small break-out groups as well as the large group setting. At subsequent meetings, there will be presentations from LSC property owners. As shown on the map, the GWMP includes several enclaves, which are areas within the County's jurisdiction that are surrounded by the City of Gaithersburg: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Londonderry/Hoyle's Addition, Oakmont, Rosemont, Washingtonian Industrial Park, and Washingtonian residential area (Washingtonian Tower vicinity). The GWMP also includes the residential neighborhoods west of Quince Orchard and Longdraft roads and the McGown property, a vacant parcel adjacent to I-270 and the City of Gaithersburg.

Please come! We welcome your participation, ideas, and suggestions. We encourage you to attend all the meetings as the agendas will cover different issues.
