The north side of the propertyh contains the Metropolitan RegionalInformational 72,000-square-foot headquarters. Last the board also recommendedthat Danac's Corridorr Cities Transitway stop be located at or near its northeasterm corner, near the intersection of Diamondback Drive and Decoverly Drive. That is good news for since the board had left out the stop inearliert drafts. The transit stop near the corne r may be developed whethef the state retains the current road alignment or adoptethe county's locally preferred alternative.
The boarf also picked that location because the northeastern cornee is considered to be convenient for pedestriands from the Decoverlyresidential communities.

Several more work sessionz are scheduled over the next two and in July the planning board will send its draft maste r plan to the county executive who will have 60 days to reviee and comment before it is sent to the countyy councilfor deliberations.
