Focus Groups about the Proposed Baltimore-Washington Rail Intermodal Facility

If you are a resident living near the proposed Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC)/Beltsville site for the intermodal facility, the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) invites you to a focus group discussion. Your input will help NCHH evaluate and document the potential health impacts if the facility were built in your community.

We will be offering light refreshments and a gift raffle. A focus group is a small group discussion of a particular topic. Due to limited space, registration is required. Please register by Monday, July 30th through our online registration form available at http://tinyurl.com/6ojkbju or by calling 410-992-0712.

 You can choose from the following dates and times:
