Last Monday, over 150 people attended a community meeting to discuss the Burtonsville Crossing Shopping Center. This event was planned to be the first meeting as part of a local #buildabetterBurtonsville campaign.
During the meeting, we had an in-depth presentation on the history of the shopping center, the current constraints and opportunities for development, how changes in traffic and public transit will impact this space, and held a community brainstorming session about our priorities for redevelopment.
Below is a copy of the presentation that was given before we broke out into small groups.
More information and a summary of the meeting will be posted on Growing East County in a few days.
Please email the event organizers (Brian, Deirdre, and Sebastian) at buildabetterBurtonsville@gmail.com if you have any comments or questions about the #buildabetterBurtonsville campaign.
Well done. A well-planned and organized event. It was great meeting new neighbors, hearing perspectives and getting a chance for everyone’s voice to be heard. Looking forward to the next meeting.
Thank you for the info, I’m sorry that I missed the meeting. Hope to be available for the next one.
It was a great presentation I hope the next meeting will be even more packed !!
Awesome presentation and great job. I wish I could have attended – I hope to be able to become more active for future events and conversations. Thank you to those who pushed, planned, and facilitated this event.
