The January WECA meeting will be held on Thursday, January 20th at 7:00pm. Meetings are held at the Rockville Presbyterian Church. Enter from Harrison St.
The main item on the agenda for this month's meeting will be a proposed Chinese Jehovah's Witness church.
A pre-application has been submitted to the City seeking approval for an additional Place of Worship at the intersection of Great Falls Road and Maryland Ave, across the street from Julius West Middle School. The site is currently developed with single family homes, 628 and 626 Maryland Avenue. 628 is currently not occupied and 626 is used as an office for the Jehovah's Witness Church located just north of the property at 624 Maryland Avenue. The existing houses will be demolished to make room for the new development.
The proposal is for a 4,500 square foot church with approximately 164 seats and an 850 square foot associated apartment. Development will include a parking lot providing 20 parking spaces and a one-way through driveway from Great Falls to Maryland Avenue.
All West End residents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
