Monrovia Town Center agreement nullified!

Monrovia Town Center agreement nullified!

As many are well aware, FoFC has been working to ensure adequate public facilities for all developments in Frederick County, Monrovia Town Center is no exception.  FoFC supported the founding of RALE  – an organization that has done superb work on behalf of the citizens living in the Monrovia area.  Finally after many years of research, writing, advocacy, public meetings, lawsuits, fundraising and anguish – Frederick County taxpayers finally had a good outcome from our courts.  Read about it here.

Livable Frederick: FoFC continues to push for livable public services

In an effort to ensure we protect our environment and have adequate public services for all County residents FoFC joined with Cleanwater Linganore, Envision Frederick County, RALE and 1000 Friends of Maryland, to send this letter to those leading Frederick County’s long term planning process called Livable Frederick.

Keep your expectations for our future high, and share them on facebook. Read Imagine Frederick County, a shared vision for local food access.

Is there a proposed development that might threaten your community or environment? Evaluate it.

Check out this check list: ceds.org/Checklist.pdf

A 2-page Checklist from our friends at Community & Environmental Defense Services to help evaluate any proposed activity that might threaten your community or environment.

Topics covered in the checklist are:
· Clean Water,
· Traffic Congestion & Safety,
· Schools Overcrowding & Safe Streets,
· Tree & Forest Preservation,
· Flooding,
· Buffering & Views,
· Property Value,
· Air Quality & Health,
· Fire & Emergency Medical Services,
· Park & Recreation Areas,
· Water Supply, and
· Historic-Archeological Resources.

The checklist addresses just a few of the many concerns related to the issues listed above. However, the selected concerns are those most commonly raised by citizens who contact CEDS from across the U.S. with questions about development and other project types. Guidance on assessing growth management beyond a single project is provided at: http://ceds.org/growthplans.htm.
