Scale-It-Back.com is a collaborative effort of community and civic
organizations in Montgomery County, Maryland who believe growth must
be carefully managed or it will lead to the degradation of our existing
communities, unprecedented levels of traffic congestion and pressure to
build on the ever-decreasing green spaces.
The massive amounts of development proposed by the Great Seneca
Science Corridor Master Plan, particularly on Belward Farm, will bury us
in traffic. Additionally, it will have profoundly negative consequences for
the environment. The master plan area is part of the watersheds for the
Muddy Branch, Rich Branch and the Piney Branch Creeks which in turn
flow into the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay.
The Great Seneca Science Corridor (Gaithersburg West) Master Plan
proposes commercial and residential space equivalent in size to Four
Pentagons on 922 acres near Shady Grove Hospital including Belward
Farm.
