Dear Friends,

Please support our efforts to build a clean-energy economy and protect our environment. I am committed to making us energy independent, curbing the harmful effects of carbon pollution, and creating the jobs of tomorrow. We need clean-energy investments to jump-start our economy, including a smarter energy grid, tax credits for all who make their homes energy efficient, and billions to make green buildings and support local renewable energy projects. We have the ability to harvest clean electricity from wind, wave, and ocean currents off our shores. For more information, please access the link below:

I just want to congratulate and thank the new RethinkCollegePark crew for the stellar job you’ve been doing lately in carrying this amazing community resource into another year. I’m disappointed that fewer commenters have been posting since you took over, but I’m certain that just as many people as ever — if not more — are reading the blog.

A swirl of events ranging from very local (e.g., Doug Dunca’s departure) to regional (e.g., Purple Line developments, MD budget worries), national (e.g., the housing bust) and international (e.g., credit meltdown) have combined to create a very different environment for local development than our community we faced even a few months ago.

But the need to continue to improve our community is even more critical now than it was before.

Against that background, the work of RethinkCollegePark obviously is extremely useful. You guys consistently provide the single best source of information and, frankly, motivation for a wide variety of constituencies concerned about our area: on-campus and off-campus folks, and political, grassroots and business folks alike.

All of us want to know what the future holds for East Campus, the Purple Line, housing developments on Route 1, the Cafritz property, and more.

Thanks to Rob and all the other founders for finding the means to keep this site going even following their departure.

And thanks to the new team for everything you are doing to bring light to such questions, which are in fact decisions that all of us, at least in some part, must help make.
