Montgomery Village plan aims to rival Frederick in size
The Montgomery County Council heard proposals for a new town named Montgomery Village to be built on about 1,900 acres in Gaithersburg with first homes planned for 1967 and final completion in roughly 20 years. The plan features three major sections, integrated shopping, 95 acres of school sites, reduced bus use, scenic walkways, open spaces totaling 557 acres, two recreational lakes, and a focus on natural landscapes with flexible road and setback rules. Developers Kettler Brothers highlighted higher development costs for this town sector compared with standard housing projects.

Senator Joseph D Tydings and colleagues reportedly work on a redistricting compromise to keep Baltimore at three, despite the 1965 legislature reducing the city to two.
