State-designated TOD Areas — Bethesda, Silver Spring, Wheaton, Friendship Heights

Montgomery County

Description

The county plans to apply to MDOT for state TOD designations for four downtowns, which requires a council resolution of support. Applications are ready; a resolution hasn't been recommended yet pending the enterprise-zone fiscal questions.

Impact summary

Designation would open the door to state capital grants, low-income housing tax credit scoring advantages, and priority MDOT advocacy for redevelopment near transit.
