Zoning Dispute in Upper Montgomery Faces Delay
A zoning dispute in Upper Montgomery County escalated as officials push for new controls amid resistance to regulation. A consultant warned about unscrupulous operators, noting a prior ordinance from 1954 remains on the books but delayed in effect, with a Jan 10 date looming if council does not act. In other news, Warren Donohue, 16, of Mount St. Joseph’s, won Maryland’s I Speak for Democracy contest, earning a TV prize and the chance to compete nationally in Washington.
