This Week in MOCO ROOT
This week's news in Montgomery County and beyond was marked by a mix of developments in local politics, business, and community issues. The Quantum World Congress, a global conference, put a spotlight on College Park, while the county's office conversions continued to meet affordable housing requirements. In a separate matter, the Department of Justice sued Montgomery County over a mask ban for law enforcement officers, while a local man was sentenced to prison for a two-year campaign of stalking and threatening others. On a more positive note, a new website aimed at supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses in the county was launched, and several Montgomery County groups received $1.8 million in grants to tackle child poverty.
