How were Rockville residents involved in the planning process?
For many years, the residents of Rockville had been asking for a revitalized Town Center. Town Center redevelopment is the implementation of a vision developed during the mid-1990s, called “Imagine Rockville,” a process wherein residents were asked what they would like to have in Town Center. Throughout 2003 and 2004, many open forums for citizens were held at City Hall to unveil new elements of the plan and to get citizen input. The many public meetings led to formulation of the Town Center Master Plan. Throughout development of the Master Plan, which was adopted by the Mayor and Council in October 2001, the public was invited to provide input, including during a public hearing. See the Design Review Process for more information on the public hearings on the project that will provide opportunities for residents to weigh in on issues concerning Town Center. Various individual citizens and organized groups continue to provide input trhough the Town Center Action Team (TCAT).
