The Indian Head Highway Area Action Council has a long
and honored history of working to maintain and improve
the quality of life in south county. Here are just a few
selections from the past year:
We facilitated dictionary distribution with the
District IV Police Citizens’ Advisory Council,
businesses, private individuals and civic groups to over
1600-3rd graders within this area.
We funded the dictionaries for students at the
John Hanson Montessori School in Oxon Hill and joined
with the Greater Accokeek Civic Association in funding
dictionaries to the Henry G. Ferguson Elementary School.
We participated in the charrette for the proposed
Henson Creek-South Potomac Master Plan and Sectional Map
Amendment.
We testified on development projects before the
Planning Board, making constructive suggestions for
improvement in the plans.
We also opposed several of the projects because
we believe public safety infrastructure is not there to
support them.
We supported consumer legislation intended to
improve real estate contracts.
We funded four prizes for the 3rd grade spelling
bee held for the dictionary recipients.
Currently, we are:
Developing a strategy to deal with the issue of adequate
police facilities when approving developments;
Continuing to research and pursue the idea of a Potomac
historic corridor;
Investigating procedures for addressing illegal and
unsightly signage in the corridor;
Reviewing the issue of staffing the proposed District
VII police facility;
Routinely providing via email a significant amount of
information to the community on issues and projects that
concern them, e.g., updates on Oxon Hill Manor, Oxon
Hill Library, Accokeek Library, crime alerts, Liquor
Board hearings, reconstruction of Hwy. 210, etc;
We are pleased to introduce Sylvia Jones, our new Code
Enforcement/Property Standards chairwoman and Scott
Merritt, the new Legislative Review chairman. We thank
them for their willingness to help and look forward to
having another productive year.
We invite you to come and meet us and share your
concerns at our annual meeting on Tuesday, October 24,
at 7 P.M. The meeting will be held at the Accokeek Fire
Department, on Livingston Road (one mile west of Indian
Head Highway).
