Patuxent Commons Pre-submission Community Meeting

Thursday, November 5, 6:30pm

As a required next step in our development approval process, Patuxent Commons will be the subject of a Pre-submission Community Meeting to provide information to the community regarding the initial submission of a site development plan to the Howard County Department of Planning & Zoning.  Mission First and other members of the Patuxent Commons team will be on hand to make a presentation about the project and answer and address any questions community members may have.

This is an exciting milestone in the project’s development and we hope you’ll join us! To attend the meeting, click here.

 

Patuxent Commons represents an opportunity to move beyond outdated notions of housing segregated by ability and age and disconnected from purpose. With aggressive, catalytic action, a new kind of community is possible: one that addresses the housing needs of adults with disabilities while drawing on the potential of people of all ages, income and abilities to build a supportive community.

Working closely with HCAS and the Task Force, Mission First Housing Group, with designs from Moseley Architects, has put forward an exciting vision for a 76-unit, mixed income community to be located at Freetown Road and Cedar Lane in Columbia’s Hickory Ridge Village. Here’s a project fact sheet with key details.

A community like this would provide my daughter with affordable housing but also an opportunity to flourish among neighbors of different ages and abilities. It’s a powerful idea that’s time has come.
