Ashton Village Center Planning Office Hours

The Montgomery County Planning Department has begun the Ashton Village Center Sector Plan, a small area plan for the village of Ashton, east of Olney and centered on the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) and Ashton Road (MD 108), in the northeastern portion of Montgomery County. The Ashton Village Center Sector Plan will evaluate land uses, zoning, design and other relevant issues in the sector plan area. The Plan will also closely evaluate design and streetscape options that increase walkability and meet Vision Zero objectives for increasing pedestrian and bicyclist safety.

Planner’s Office Hours — Fred Boyd, master planner with the Montgomery County Planning Department, will be at the museum to talk informally with interested residents about the Ashton Village Center Master Plan. This is your opportunity to learn about the master plan, ask questions about land use, design, walkability and the planning process.  No appointments are necessary.  Just drop in.
