Forum on Golf Course's Future (Part Two)

Have your say on the fate of the Montgomery Village Golf Course. A housing developer has the purchasing rights for the 148-acre property, but it could be several years before county officials determine how the land can be used. In the meantime, the Montgomery Village Foundation is hosting a series of forums -- called "charrettes" -- where residents and interested parties can brainstorm the possibilities. The golf course's charrette is split into two parts:
