Regional Services Director's Office

Bridging the gap between citizen needs and public services is a major challenge facing governments today. Montgomery County meets this challenge through regionally based Centers which include a variety of services and programs brought together in one office building. Regional Centers are located in Silver Spring, Wheaton, Bethesda, Burtonsville, and Germantown. The Upcounty Regional Services Center was established in 1985 and moved to its permanent location in Germantown in 1990. The Center serves a population of 300,000 in the area of the County generally north of Shady Grove Road.

You can contact the Regional Director Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. by calling:

The Upcounty Regional Director serves as a link to the County Executive's Office; coordinates policy making and service delivery that focus on the particular needs of the Upcounty area; and offers problem solving assistance to neighborhoods, individuals, businesses, and County agencies.

The Upcounty area has a Citizens Advisory Board that is appointed by the County Executive and who works with the Regional Director to provide the County Executive and the County Council with a balanced assessment of area problems and their potential solutions.
