For too long, MD 210 has been viewed as a โdormant economic engine.โ Today, weโre hitting the restart button. We are launching the MD 210 Economic Development Coalition in June-a coalition of business, civic, and community stakeholders coming together to transition our corridor from a thoroughfare into a destination.

๐ Halfway there! We just delivered bench #3 of 6 to Colin Powell K-8 Academy โ and it looks incredible. Last year, we joined forces with incredible community partners like Sustainable Future Initiative and Andrews Federal Credit Union to build and paint benches that will live in SIX locations across our neighborhood. Watch this space as we finish strong. 3๏ธโฃโ 3๏ธโฃโฌ #CommunityBeautification #ProgressUpdate
๐ฃ Big News for Fort Washington! ๐ฃ
Last nightโs Town Hall was a powerful reminder that residents lead the way. Working with @pgplanningmd We had good feedback on our Sustainable Communities Action Plan and officially unveiled the draft logo from our branding and wayfinding study! ๐จโจ
Why this matters:
These initiatives aren't just about a new lookโthey are the key to unlocking state funding for:
๐ Community development projects that revitalize our neighborhoods.
๐๏ธ Elevating our identity to make Fort Washington a premier destination to live, work, and play.
๐ณ Sustainable growth that protects our local environment and assets.
Whatโs Next?
We are moving full steam ahead to finalize our Sustainable Communities application for submission to the County Council. This is resident-driven development in action, and we need YOU to keep the momentum going.
๐ค Join a Work Group!
We are looking for passionate residents to join our work groups and help shape the future of our community. Whether youโre interested in branding, economic development, or local infrastructure, thereโs a seat for you at the table.
Ready to get involved? ๐ง Email us at [email protected] to join a work group or learn more about our next steps!
Letโs keep building a stronger, more vibrant Fort Washington together. ๐งฑ๐ช
