[quote=Anonymous][quote]White Flint is getting a school incorporated into it's [sic] new town center, why can't the new CC development work it into their new design.[/quote] As stated in either the first or second meeting, it is a lot easier to tell developers to build, or set aside space for, an elementary school along with new residential development. There is a formula which accounts for the amount of new residential development and how it affects the new, immediate elementary school population. Middle schools have a much larger catchment area so it is more difficult to force a particular developer of say, 300 new housing units, to build a new middle school for a 5+ mile radius just because there will be more than a several dozen middle-school age children living in the new development. Parks are on the table because there are very few swaths of land in the B-CC cluster which are big enough to build a middle school that are not parks. Period.[/quote]
