[JYO] Saving Suburban Airpark (W18)

RED ALERT!

Friends of Suburban Airpark -

Our neighbors in MD  City are on Red Alert to oppose a developer's
bulldozing of W18. Ray  Smallwood (Pres. MD City Civic Association),
and John Venit (Pres. Brock  Bridge Estates HOA) contacted me, looking
for help and involvement from the  region's Pilots.  

We've been asked to:
1) Attend a  Rally - Wednesday, Jan 28th at 7:30 PM
2) Show-up at the County  Council Meeting - Feb 2nd

Our efforts to-date have defied the odds, but  the developer is making
a last-minute push. If there was ever a time to act  to save W18, ITS
NOW!

RALLY

MD City is holding a Rally against  Polm's "Riverwood" Development at
the W18 site. They are asking for the  Pilots to participate, and be in
attendance. Their hope is to get a few  hundred people assembled on
short notice, and get attention focused on the  community. W18 and the
region's Pilots are an accepted part of that  community!

The press will be present. This is an outstanding opportunity  for the
Pilots and Community to showunity against Polm's plan to  close
Suburban Airpark! 

The Rally is:
Wednesday, Jan  28th at 7:30 PM
Maryland City Firehouse 
(North side of 198, East of Brock Bridge Rd) 
3498 Fort Meade  Road
Laurel, MD

This might be our best shot at showing  community unity, and support
for keeping W18 an airpark. This is also a  chance for us to cement our
good relationship with our neighbors.

COUNTY COUNCIL

Polm needs the Anne Arundel County Council to vote on  Feb 2nd for
upzoning W18 to make it worthy of his bulldozer.

To this  end, Polm will reportedly try to pack the Feb 2nd County
Council meeting with  his own supporters (mostly paid employees and
sub-contractors), and will do  this to the extent of fire-codes,
locking out the residents.

To blunt  this, we need to show up early at the County Council Meeting:

Monday, February 2nd - (try to arrive before 6:00PM), meeting
at  7PM
Arundel Center - 1st Floor Council Chambers
44 Calvert Street
Annapolis, MD 21401
Council Office 410-222-1401

Directions:
Rt 50 Eastto  Bestagate/Rowe Blvd Exit
Bear Right off of Exit - Rowe  Blvd
Pass Stadium and Cross Bridge
Bear Right  onto Calvert
Arundel Center and Parking Garage on  Left


Spread the word!  Bring a Friend!  Thank  You!
