Keeping up with Kate - December Edition

Montgomery County Maryland sent this bulletin at 12/20/2023 01:03 PM EST

Dear Friends,

As we’re in the midst of the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish everyone a peaceful and joyous season.

I know this has been a difficult time for many members of our community. I hold you all in my thoughts as this year comes to a close and pray for peace in the new year. In my new role as Council Vice President, I am committed to continuing to address hate in our community and foster a welcoming county.

As we end 2023, I also want to share some exciting news regarding businesses in District 4. We are grateful to our partners at United Therapeutics as they plan to expand and welcome Choice Hotels to our district!

I look forward to working together in 2024. As always, feel free to contact my office if you have any questions or need assistance.

Best,

Councilmember Kate Stewart

United Therapeutics & Montgomery County Partnership

Last week, I was proud to join with Council President Friesdon, Council colleagues, the County Executive and United Therapeutics in announcing a partnership for future growth and long-term vision for Downtown Silver Spring. The partnership includes a general development agreement between the County and United Therapeutics that will allow for the company’s future growth in Silver Spring and provide significant benefits to the County.

This partnership lays the foundation for the long-term vibrancy of Downtown Silver Spring and benefits our entire County. The growth of United Therapeutics will bring jobs and economic investment to our community, as they advance their life saving medicine. We are fortunate to have a trailblazing biotech company that changes lives worldwide and gives back to our community in Downtown Silver Spring. If interested, you can read the full press release at this link.

Thank you to Governor Wes Moore who joined myself, Council President Friedson and the County Executive along with Comptroller Brooke Lierman, Commerce Secretary Kevin Anderson, Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles, State Delegates Sara Love, Lily Qi, Sarah Wolek and Marc Korman, for the ribbon cutting and celebration.
