The 2014 HTCA Board of Directors met last night to discuss action items for the year and to elect officials. Here’s some of what we have planned for 2014:

  • Online Directory – available now!
  • Print Directory – May
  • Social Events – (Ice Cream social, 4th of July Parade, Fall BBQ, Halloween Parade + possibly book clubs, progressive dinners, poker night anyone?)
  • Committees (Social Committee, Welcome/Hospitality Committee, Hospital Liaison Committee, Traffic/Safety Committee…are some possibilities – still working out the details) – you’ll hear more about this later.
  • By-Law revision/vote – 2001 was last revision

We hope to offer plenty of opportunities for neighborhood involvement at various levels of commitment – so we encourage your assistance to continue making Huntington Terrace a great place to live!

HTCA v Suburban Hospital – COSA Decision

~ htcawebmaster

We learned on September 13 that the Maryland Court of Special Appeals on Sept. 10 affirmed the Montgomery County Circuit Court ruling of 2012 permitting Suburban Hospital to go forward with its expansion. The Court of Special Appeals case was argued one year ago.

The board of directors of the Huntington Terrace Citizens’ Association (HTCA) is working to schedule a community meeting to discuss the decision and possible next steps. We would have 30 days from Sept. 10 to file an appeal if the community so decides. We will let you know as soon as possible when we establish a meeting date and secured a venue.

The court’s decision is available from our Web site. Download it here
