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.

NEW The Montgomery County Council's Planning, Housing and Economic Development (PHED) committee will hold a worksession on the Twinbrook Sector Plan on Monday, September 15, at 2 pm. Please call the Council offices at 240-777-7900 to confirm the schedule.

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.
