On The Agenda: Watkins Mill Interchange Briefing

The Gaithersburg mayor and City Council will meet for a work session at 7:30 p.m. in City Hall's council chambers.

The State Highway Administration will brief the Gaithersburg mayor and City Council on plans for the Watkins Mill Interchange Project during a worksession Monday evening at City Hall.

The project, which was approved for design in 2002, will link the existing Watkins Mill Road segments over I-270 and, according to city documents, is expected to result in the creation of new jobs, facilitate development in the city, provide a new East-West connection in the city and provide congestion relief at the Route 124-Route 355 and the Route 124-I-270 intersection and ramps. 

Also on tonight's agenda is discussion of the city's plans to register for Sustainable Maryland Certified, a new initiative of the Environmental Finance Center at the University of Maryland (EFC) to support Maryland’s municipalities in finding cost-effective and strategic ways to protect natural assets and revitalize their communities.
