Planning Board Votes to Remove Midcounty Highway M-83 from Master Plan

The Montgomery County Planning Board voted to remove the unbuilt section of Midcounty Highway (M-83) from the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways, finding the project inconsistent with Thrive Montgomery 2050 and the Climate Action Plan. The Planning Board will conduct a comprehensive study of travel needs along the Clarksburg-to-Germantown corridor. The County Council is expected to receive the Master Plan later this spring and make a final decision by summer 2025.
