On The Agenda October 2022 by President, Karen M. Coakley

Exciting news! The end is in sight for Maryland 212/Powder Mill Road. Milling and paving will finally begin October 3rd (weather permitting). The first phase of paving will be between Pine Street and Garrett Avenue. The second phase will be between Route 1 and Rhode Island Avenue. The third phase will be between Rhode Island Avenue and Garrett Avenue. Paving will take place between 11:00 am and 10:00 PM. During this last phase I strongly suggest avoiding Powder Mill Road.

The Citizens Association will be co-hosting a meeting with our elected officials in lieu of our regular monthly meeting. We encourage Beltsville residents to attend two community Town Halls.
