Montgomery grants more time for Takoma Park development proposal

Nevertheless, the successful proposal, which incorporates workplace house above a number of shops and eating places, has drawn a slew of criticism. Opponents in Takoma Park, a hotbed of liberal activism, mentioned it might be too large for the world, eat public gathering house, spur gentrification and generate an excessive amount of site visitors. Many have voiced issues concerning the viability of the 40-year-old co-op, a spot that Franchot has publicly championed. The co-op filed a lawsuit in opposition to the developer and town over the proposal in April, alleging breach of contract.
