The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission has launched a master plan amendment process for the Route 1 corridor in College Park. The sector plan that results from this process is expected to establish new land use and zoning policies for the corridor. Copies are also available at City Hall and the College Park Youth and Family Services Building. The Second Annual Geography Bowl is a community geography competition for children in grades 4 - 8. This year the event will be held the evening of Friday, April 28, 2000.
Children enter the competition in teams of three with an adult coach.
Schools, scout troops, athletic organizations, youth groups, churches, friends or neighbors may form teams to compete for cash prizes. Winning teams will also receive geography-related materials for the school or library of their choice. Residency is not required for registration through a school. Space is limited. Paper should be separated from the bottles and cans and left next to the recycling bin.
