Twinbrook Sector Plan

As part of Montgomery’s Technology Corridor, the Twinbrook neighborhood presents a great opportunity to create a distinct community featuring a mix of homes, jobs, stores and businesses. The Twinbrook Sector Plan envisions an attractive community that benefits from state-of-the-art design, a pedestrian-friendly environment of sidewalks and trails, and green, sustainable features.

The Planning Board approved its version of a sector plan that forecasts 20 years of land use around the Twinbrook Metro Station and delivered it to the County Council in late January.

NEWThe Montgomery County Council will conduct a public hearing on the Twinbrook Sector Plan on Tuesday, May 20. If you would like to testify, please call the County Council at 240-777-7931.

Highlights of the Planning Board's sector plan include:

  • Creation of a distinct community that builds on the area’s proximity to the Twinbrook Metro station
  • A mix of new jobs, homes, retail outlets, and technology-oriented business integrated in unique ways
  • The best urban design, focusing on high-quality public spaces for the community
  • An inviting environment for technology, building on existing government agencies and private businesses
  • A light industrial zone that supports existing businesses and encourages entrepreneurship
  • New urban parks and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and paths.
