 ABOUT FAIR ACCESS

The Fair Access committee of Western Montgomery County, Md. consists of residents who have banded together to represent the interests of farmers, students, senior citizens, churches, and non-profit organizations located in the County’s prized Agricultural Reserve to rally for a much-needed new high school with co-located police, health and community services.  The committee is launching a program in support of the new facility and services entitled, “Fair Access for Western Montgomery County,” to communicate the need for Western Montgomery County to be treated fairly with accessible facilities and services, just like every other part of the County.
