County Planning Board Reviews Study Aimed at Helping Minority-Owned Businesses
In Silver Spring, Wheaton and the Takoma-Langley Crossroads, there are 279 diverse retailers, creating 1,400 jobs and approximately $138 million in revenue. The Montgomery County Planning Department, which is part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, just released a study to determine how the county can strengthen these minority-owned businesses.
In each of these three communities, the number of Black, Asian and Hispanic residents has increased since 2010. In Silver Spring, the White population decreased by 1.8% while the Black population increased by 20.9%, the Asian population increased by 25.5% and the Hispanic population grew by 37.9%, according to the study.
