County Executive Statement Montgomery
County is home to over 25,000 youth and adults participating in soccer
activities. Due to limited soccer facilities, particularly in the down
county region, there is a need for properly built and maintained fields
that can operate year round. Park and Planning's 2005 Park Recreation
Open Space Plan references the need for 88 additional multipurpose and
use rectangular fields for soccer/Football/Lacross. See pages
4-6
of the Executive Summary link below.
2005 Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan - A Parks Recreation Open Space Plan for Montgomery County, Maryland To satisfy this need, the County, working through competitively awarded public-private contracts with operators, intends to install and operate soccer field sites in the down county region.  DGS Public Process for Projects (Standard vs. This Initiative) In
keeping with the County Executive’s commitment to transparent
and accountable government, the Department of General Services is
committed to routinely engaging residents and other interested parties
in the development of County projects. This process includes community
meetings and public input processes by which we can be best informed
about issues of concern regarding design, operation and maintenance of
facilities. The County is seeking community input drafting the RFP
scope and selection criteria for the non-profit operator, who will
develop and maintain the soccer fields.
