Dear Kemp Mill Neighbor,
You are invited to the Kemp Mill Civic Association’s quarterly meeting which will be held Wednesday February 19 at Kemp Mill Elementary School from 7:30pm-9pm. An agenda for the meeting is below.
We will be voting on the attached KMCA letter (see below) to the Montgomery Planning Board regarding the University Boulevard Corridor Plan. Thank you to everyone who submitted recommended edits on the letter. The Board considered each recommended edit. In many cases, we accepted them. In some cases, we were not able to. I will respond today to each email we received about our last draft. If we were not able to make a change you recommended, I will explain why not.
Other items on the meeting agenda include an amendment to our bylaws to join the Montgomery County Civic Federation (see below), a discussion of the three most-requested new sidewalks in Kemp Mill, and the selection of a nominating committee for KMCA Board positions.
I look forward to seeing you this coming Wednesday!
Thanks,
Jules
Jules Szanton
