Rockville Central friend Joe Jordan, who is president of the New Mark Commons Board, let me know that his community has been approved by the Commission on the Environment to receive the Environmental Excellence Award.
New Mark is receiving the award because of the neighborhood’s exemplary management of the many trees that make up its urban forest — it’s known for this aspect (indeed, I have heard it can be ten degrees cooler than other parts of town due to the shade).
You can see the award application they sent here.
It’s worth noting that New Mark Commons is a frequent destination for planners around the country, because of the thought that has gone into its planning from the beginning.
Congratulations to our friends!
