Contact MargaretWhat Changes Are on the Horizon for Crofton Area?
July 13th, 2009 Categories: Crofton Organizations
A little birdie told me that Crofton… Wait. Stop!. Scrap the little birdie!
No need to rely on hearsay and gossip, when it comes to changes in the Crofton area. That’s because the Greater Crofton Council (GCC) is a lot more reliable source of what’s going on in this area than a little birdie or any other source of information, including local print media and blogs.
GCC has developed a reputation among politicians, developers, service providers and advocacy groups as the eyes, ears, and mouth for Crofton area residents, including those in Odenton, Gambrills, Davidsonville and other nearby neighborhoods. What do I mean by that? Very simply…
GCC takes the time to look at proposals and hear the perspective of presenters, and then they communicate the information to others throughout the area.
Just take a look at the agenda for tomorrow night’s meeting (June 14):
- Critical environmental issues in the local area, including the spread of ground water from two large sources. Guest panel includes Dick Lahn (Founder, String of Pearls Project), Dawn Thomas (Watershed Steward for Crofton and Patuxent River), Jennifer Bevan-Dangel (Deputy Director, 1000 Friends of Maryland), and Tim Berkoff (NASA research engineer and environmental activist).
- Crofton Regional Community Center Project – Senator Janet Greenip
- GDP testimony to the Anne Arundel County Council and the Waugh Chapel South development being built on the Gambrills fly ash pits.
- Recent changes in police-community communications.
- Preview of the August 2009 teen event and the September 8 community safety meeting co-hosted by the GCC and Anne Arundel County Police Department.
You’ll find photos and notes from the June 9 meeting of GCC on the Greater Crofton Council website, in addition to concept graphics about the impending Route 3 changes, and other issues affecting the quality of life for local residents. GCC meetings are held the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Village Commons Community Center. That’s located in the Village at Waugh Chapel – Rt. 3 and Waugh Chapel Rd.
NOTE: Ask and you shall receive. If you provide announcements for your community organization, every effort will be made to publish them at Focus on Crofton in a timely manner.
