anchor Justification
This project is being developed in accordance with the Council approved Shady Grove Sector Plan to redevelop the CSP property into a transit-oriented mixed-use area. The CSP property is a major component of the County's Smart Growth Initiative (SGI), a comprehensive strategy to better serve the public interest and support economic development in key areas by relocating several County offices from their prior, outdated, and inadequate facilities to other more functional and appropriate sites. The CSP property is planned to support several different types of uses, including residential townhomes and apartments; commercial and retail space; public parks; and open spaces located in and around the Shady Grove Metro Station area.
