Fall Festival 2011::Sunday October 2

Sunday October 2 from 4-7:30pm at lower Lincoln Street.  Contact Amy Shiman (301) 803-7038 to volunteer with  HTCA welcome booth, food/beverage, decorations, setup up, or clean up.

Please come to HTCA’s fall community meeting on Tuesday, September 20 at 7pm at Bradley Hills Elementary School.

Residential Construction Tips

Are you bothered by the dust, noise, or idling-truck emissions from nearby houses under construction? Home improvements and new construction projects are a reality when you live in such a desirable neighborhood. Find out the rules and how to report violations. Note that generators, even for temporary power outages, must comply with county noise limits. See the new section, Residential Construction Tips, under “Huntington Terrace”. Thanks to EPA consultant and resident Vera Ashworth for her research in this area.
