This project provides for site selection for the following candidate projects: Clarksburg Library, Damascus Depot Relocation, North County Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center, 4th District Police Station, Montgomery Village Fire Station, land for facility reforestation, and other site selection activities such as appraisals, geotechnical services, environmental studies, title reports and surveys.

Cost increase is due to the addition of expenditures in FY27 and FY28 for this ongoing project.

These funds will be used for site selection only. No land will be purchased without notice to the County Council that must include the reasons why the proposed site is appropriate for the specific project being planned, including the expected size of the facility, and how the site is responsive to community needs. Any land acquisition will be funded initially through Advanced Land Acquisition Revolving Fund (ALARF): MCG, then reimbursed by a future appropriation from the specific project. The County Executive will work with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission staff to review future facility needs in master plans and department strategic plans to identify sites beyond those for projects in facility planning and the current CIP for acquisition.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
