Hey Clarksburg! I work on a horse farm in the area and I am in need of a studio apartment/basement/FROG/stablehand quarters/space over a barn for one woman and one well-behaved lab mix. My budget is $1200 max, and I need to be out of my boss's basement before Christmas. If anyone knows anything, please let me know! Thank you!

I have been given permission to share this. A friend of mine has decided to speak up about her abuse and harassment from an ex friend and is now being punished and forced into In School Suspension. This happened because she made a post about her experiences but didn’t mention a name or any physical traits, but her abuser went to his counselor and to them HE FELT THREATENED! Clarksburg isn’t doing anything to help my friend and punish the abuser. If you can please spread the word.

As a follow-up from my earlier post, I went to tonight’s Clarksburg Gateway Sector Plan workshop. The first half had the planning commission present a vision for the Gateway Sector Plan area based on input compiled from the community in prior meetings. It showcased options (big and small) for different categories (paraphrased): recreation, community design/development, parks, roadways/public transportation, and historic element.

They then had breakout sessions where you could comment on the options within each category and ask questions from a planning representative. Many commented on roadways/transportation including extending Gateway Center Drive to Observation Drive, extending bus hours and developing a Clarksburg circulator bus route. Finally, there was an electronic survey for participants to complete to capture selections of the options showcased.

Their next step is to develop a draft plan over the summer based on the workshops and survey results, which will then go through another round of community comments before it is finalized and presented to the county board.

I also had the opportunity to meet the owner of the COMSAT property and speak with him about his vision. He wants to develop the land into a community gathering area comprised of commercial/retail with some residential, but to do so, he wants to tear the building down. He’d also like the network of incomplete roads to be complete and a new interchange from I-270 (“exit 17”) which was one of the options presented by the planning commission. The biggest hindrance is that the county wants to assess whether the COMSAT building should be deemed a historic property. This has been going on for 8+ years and he said if they would allow for him to tear it down, he’d move forward.

Overall, I would say it was a great experience! When more meetings are planned I’ll be sure to post.

Forwarding a great opportunity to provide community input on future development in Clarksburg (ex: retail, recreational, transportation, community gathering spaces, etc.). Meetings are June 10th and 12th from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM at Rocky Hill Middle. I attended the May 23rd workshop and it was great opportunity to meet fellow community members and voice our individual visions for the future of Clarksburg. Highly encourage all to attend the next session!

Attended a community meeting earlier today on the Clarksburg Library. Still pending county council budget approval, but if approved design would begin this spring with construction starting in Spring 2026 and completion in Summer 2027.

Hello- has anyone heard what the latest update is on a town center? It seems it's been constantly changing/ delayed. Thanks for any info!

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am running for Congress in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which represents Western Maryland including Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.

While I would be Maryland’s first Millennial and first Asian-American ever elected to this office, I am specifically running because I have strong policy solutions to open the doors of opportunity for our community.

This is an open seat with no incumbent and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.

My top policy priorities include:

• Getting money out of politics
• Making public college free and canceling student debt
• Medicare for all
• Increasing the minimum wage to $26 by 2030

Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!

It gets nasty in front of the schools most mornings.

Why are all these commercial trucks parked there and who are the people who park their personal cars at the end of the street near the post office? It is a mystery to me.
