At the Feb. 23 City Council meeting, the council voted to establish an Ad Hoc North Potomac Yard Advisory Group. As the city moves forward with it’s North Potomac Small Area Plan, the group will develop potential amendments in areas such as land use, open space, transportation and connectivity.
The 12-person group will be split between six residents, five city commissioners and committee members, and one at-large business representative. One representative in the residential group will be an at-large resident in Potomac Yard, while three others will come from across the city. All at-large representatives are appointed by the city manager based on nominations through eNews, the city website, and various local civic and community associations.
