Montgomery council approves $10 billion ‘science city’ plan
science from B1
tions and government agencies to prepare plans that must then go to the Planning Board for ap- proval before any ground is bro- ken. Although much of the devel- opment will not be able to go for- ward without sufficient transit and road improvements, 4.1mil- lion square feet could be built be- fore the transitway is construct- ed. There is about 7million square feet of already developed commercial space in the area. The project is near several res- idential neighborhoods, but the area is also home to a number of bioscience companies and Shady Grove Adventist Hospital. The National Institutes of Health re- cently unveiled plans to build of- fices nearby for the National Cancer Institute. “This will ensure that our next
generation of brilliant young people can find Montgomery County a place to work and live,” said County Council President Nancy Floreen (D-At Large), a key backer of the plan. Officials from Johns Hopkins
University, which could develop up to 6.8million square feet in the area, praised the move, say- ing in a statement that the plans provide “the potential for high- paying bioscience and healthcare jobs, new mass transit, high
The Montgomery County Council approved Tuesday a plan for a 17.5 million-square-foot “science city” that officials hope will rival Research Triangle, N.C., and Palo Alto, Calif., by attracting federal agencies and bioscience companies.

THE WASHINGTON POST
“This was a lengthy effort and a very good outcome. . . . . We had to do something to
quality affordable housing, parks and other important amenities that will benefit the entire coun- ty.”
The University of Maryland, one of the nine institutions that are part of the Universities at Shady Grove academic consor- tium, is also in talks with the county about expanding its pres- ence in the area.
Some residents remain skepti-
really up the ante.”
— Michael Knapp, Montgomery council member
cal, saying they worry about the scale of the project and its poten- tial to cause large traffic jams. Council member Phil Andrews (D-Gaithersburg-Rockville) rep- resents nearby communities. He won support a few weeks ago for reducing the project from a maximum of 20 million square feet to 17.5 million square feet. The council also agreed to maintain tougher standards for measuring traffic con- gestion and increased to 40 percent, from 30 percent, the
amount of space that must be de- voted to life sciences. Council member Marc Elrich
(D-At Large) said that despite voting for the plan, he was skep- tical that it would deliver all that is promised. “It will do some- thing,” he said. “How much it does remains to be seen.” On Tuesday, County Executive
Isiah Leggett (D) traveled to Chi- cago to encourage leaders of the
bioscience industry, who were meeting there, to consider locat- ing in Montgomery. “This action is a huge boost for the county’s ongoing effort to maintain and expand the critical biotechnology work in the coun- ty that is saving lives, creating good jobs and strengthening our tax base,” he said in a statement. Peter Greenleaf, president of
MedImmune, told the gathering that Montgomery’s proximity to federal agencies gives his com- pany a strategic advantage. “It is one of the fastest growing areas in the biosciences sector,” he said.
Council member Michael
Knapp (D-Upcounty), who chairs the committee that oversees de- velopment, said: “This was a lengthy effort and a very good outcome. The vote helps the county attract research and edu- cational institutions and com- mercial biosciences companies in a highly competitive industry. We had to do something to really up the ante.”
