Crosswalks: Smart Growth, Stronger Communities
Pinegrove -What it Can Be!
In this episode, I want to talk about my hopes for what Pinegrove can be. See my previous two videos on La Plata Ward 4 Video Update on YouTube, the first dated March 14, 2022, an overview of the project, followed by Pinegrove Update, December 3, 2023, a summary of construction to date.
The following discussion is based on the developer’s approved Master Site Development Plan (MSDP) and attached project narrative. Please note: “This Master Site Development Plan depicts the generalized nature of the development. Future refinements and revisions may occur at the time of preliminary subdivision/ final site plan, subject to review and approval” by the Town of La Plata.” Approval is by the Town Planning Commission.
I highlight specific elements from the MSDP/ narrative and provide my comments. These don’t reflect the view of the Town of La Plata.
