INDIAN HEAD HIGHWAY AREA ACTION COUNCIL, INC.
The Indian Head Highway Area Action Council is composed of civic organizations, civic leaders, and interested citizens in and around the Indian Head Highway corridor. Membership is open to anyone or any organization subscribing to the goals of the Council.
Dues are currently $20 per calendar year. We typically have an annual meeting in the fourth quarter of each year at which we elect officers for the coming year, and hold general meetings at other times as circumstances dictate. The officers and board meet periodically between general meetings to keep tabs on things and conduct the normal business of the Council.
The Council is a forum for discussion on anything and everything that goes on in our communities. We closely monitor such things as:
State and county highway planning
Local planning and zoning
Residential and commercial development proposals
Crime
Schools, including overcrowding and plant condition
Local and State legislation
For example, we're currently watching very closely the ongoing discussion about the potential for gambling in the county. Like National Harbour, this is an issue which has generated intense debate and the only thing that's certain is that we don't know the half of it yet. Regardless of which way it comes out, IHHAAC regards this as a critical issue since two locations in our area (Rosecroft Raceway and National Harbour) are under consideration as locations for slot machines and/or casino gambling. We will do our best to keep track of this and other critical questions as they make their way through the legislative process, and keep you informed.
IHHAAC officers and members also actively participate in local affairs both on behalf of the Council and on their own. Some current and past issues include:
State Highway Administration study on upgrading Indian Head Highway with grade-separated interchanges
National Harbour
Oxon Hill Road widening and reconstruction
Woodrow Wilson Bridge replacement
I-95/Beltway HOV Study
Adequate Public Facilities Schools Task Force (Prince George's County Council)
Our officers and members are a great resource for the community, representing decades of experience and knowledge on all facets of life in the Indian Head Highway Corridor. Our goal in establishing this web site is to reach out and share these resources with the community. As the web site is developed and expanded, you'll be able to come here for updates on development issues, contact information for state and local officials, listings of community association meetings, announcements, and more. And of course, if there's something you think should be here that isn't please let us know.
