Greenway History

Fall of 2016, the City hosted two neighborhood meetings to discuss the potential of a 10' wide multi-use trail being constructed within the Maryland Farms Greenway which separates the office park from the Meadow Lake neighborhood. The trail would connect Powell Park and the Granny White Pike area neighborhoods to Maryland Way Park and the northern commercial area. 

Construction of a trail on this property will require the City Commission to go through a rezoning process to amend the special restrictions placed on that land. The special restrictions currently prohibit construction of any improvements, including a paved trail.
