Meet the Agencies and Departments Moving to Wheaton

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) will be the owner and manager of the new Wheaton office building, which will also house six other County departments and agencies.

In addition to the M-NCPPC, the departments and agencies are:

• Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection
• Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, Licensure and Regulatory Services Section
• Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services
• Montgomery County Department of Recreation
• The Office of Community Use of Public Facilities
• The Mid-County Regional Services Center/Urban District

The co-location of so many departments and agencies responsible for permitting of residential, community-oriented and commercial entities will promote greater collaboration and efficiencies and provide the public with a one-stop shop for many of their needs. 

"Our licensure & regulatory services staff look forward to serving resident’s and business owner’s needs in their new offices in Wheaton.  Being co-located with other permitting functions is essential to provide good customer service," said Raymond Crowel, director of the County's Department of Health and Human Services.
