Sector Plan Update WRAC/WUDAC Coordination

The Wheaton Sector Plan outreach strategy engages two existing advisory committees associated with the Mid-County Regional Services Center. These committees include the Wheaton Redevelopment advisory Committee (WRAC), as the lead organizing committed, and the Wheaton Urban District Advisory Committee (WUDAC). For the length of the Sector Plan Amendment, WRAC and WUDAC have formed a Wheaton Sector Plan Joint Advisory Ad Hoc Work Group (Work Group). The work Group includes representatives from the two Wheaton advisory committees. Such organizations as the Wheaton Civic Coalition and individuals from the community, that are committed to monthly attendance, are actively participating in the Work Group, but are non-voting members.

Recommendations from the work group will be presented to the full membership of WRAC and WUDAC for deliberation and voting. WRAC and WUDAC are designated representatives to provide testimony to the planning Board and County Council.

The Work Group meets on the 1st Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. The location is 2424 Reedie Drive, Wheaton, Maryland.

In addition to the Work group, WRAC has an Economic Development subcommittee, which generally meets at 7:00 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month also at 2424 Reedie Drive. In addition to its general economic scope of interest, the Economic development subcommittee addresses economic issues relating to the Sector Plan update.

All of these meetings are open to the public. For more information, please call 240-777-8123 or 240-777-8126.
