Proposed Development in Vansville
A developer is seeking to develop 7.75 acres of land at the southeast intersection of Old Baltimore Pike and Ammendale Way with an address of 11701 Old Baltimore Pike, Vansville ("Subject Property") into a townhouse community with a maximum of 67 units. This property is zoned Commercial, General and Office (CGO), and townhomes are permitted within this zone. All proposed townhomes will be sold at the market rate.
They will be holding a neighborhood meeting per Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) guidelines on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at Beltsville Library at 6:30 PM to discuss this project in greater detail with the community.

Keep Your Pipes from Freezing
Frozen pipes can be the worst. Keep your water running at a trickle to avoid calling a plumber in the future. Some homeowners even wrap their pipes in special foam insulation, commonly sold at big box stores. Should you have a pipe burst, call WSSC Emergency Services at (301) 206-4002 or email: emergencycallcenter@wsscwater.com. Be prepared. Whether the water main break is in your house or the street, have 1 – 2 gallons per person in the home and water for your pets. Don't forget the additional water to flush the toilet.
