On Sunday March 16, 2025, members of Silver Spring United Methodist church voted in favor of the following:
- Adoption of a Preliminary Development Plan for a single-phase affordable housing development on a portion of our existing campus to include both affordable rental and for-purchase homes;
- Adoption of a Preliminary Master Plan for the long-term renovation and development of our existing facilities at 8900 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD; and
- Adoption of Preliminary Cost Estimates and Financing Plans to accomplish recommendations 1 and 2.
77 members voted YES; 2 voted NO; 2 Abstained
Both the housing and Church renovation projects will undergo additional planning and scrutiny. These plans will be updated and finalized, and subjected to another vote of the Church membership, prior to the start of implementation. We will soon share an update on the tentative timeline ahead for SSUMC’s planned development, including further congregation and community input.
