Greater Capital Area Association Takes the Lead in Smart Growth – Twice!

Development in Montgomery County, MD, just north of the nation’s capital, is growing fast.  The Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS^® (GCAAR) wants to make sure it grows smart, as well.  Two Smart Growth Grants from NAR have been helping it do so.  The 8,500-member association used the first one to begin a member education program, which became a celebration of Montgomery County’s smart growth in action.  The second enabled GCAAR to participate in a coalition of county officials, developers, and others to advocate for a comprehensive mass transit plan. Funds were also used to create a magazine compiling smart growth and local development information.
