Current & Recent Projects

The Clarksburg Neighbors Alliance fosters community spirit, advocating for civic, economic, ecological, and cultural welfare while valuing diverse opinions of all residents in Clarksburg, MD.

Summer 2024 Community Survey

Over 600 Clarksburg residents participated in our community-wide survey—the largest outreach effort we've ever had. The results were clear:

• Top concerns: Recreation, crime, education, and transportation

• Notable insight: In Cabin Branch, social engagement and transportation emerged as especially pressing issues.

These results are guiding our work and helping us advocate for what matters most to our neighbors.

Community Asset Mapping

We're building a Community Asset Map using principles of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). In our Public Townhall Event, we began identifying the strengths, talents, and resources already present in Clarksburg.

This map is a living document of Clarksburg’s identity and potential. Check out the Asset Map and add to it.

Transportation & M83 Advocacy

Clarksburg rallied around the M83 Midcounty Highway issue—and made waves.

Though M83 may be dropped from the County’s master plan, our unified stance left an impact. This was a true David vs. Goliath moment, and Clarksburg showed up. Now, planners are paying attention.

We continue to push for meaningful transportation solutions that meet Clarksburg’s growing and unique needs.

Gateway Sector Plan Engagement

The Clarksburg Gateway Sector Plan is shaping the future of our community, focusing on the largely undeveloped eastern side of I-270.

This plan:

• Updates the 1994 Clarksburg Master Plan

• Reviews land use, zoning, transportation, environment, and housing needs

• Engages residents, business owners, and stakeholders in shaping growth

CNA members are deeply involved in this planning process to ensure that Clarksburg’s voice is heard.

Clarksburg Library Advocacy

We're working to ensure the Clarksburg Library stays on track—in the county budget and on schedule. Access to a well-resourced library is essential, and we’re keeping the pressure on to protect this cornerstone of community learning. This will be the first major County presence in Clarksburg.
