Donna Baron serves as the Coordinator of the Gaithersburg - North Potomac - Rockville Coalition which represents over 500 residents from approximately 75 different areas and subdivisions in western Montgomery County.

The Coalition opposes the scale of the development proposed in the Gaithersburg West (Great Seneca Science Corridor) Master Plan.  Despite the overwhelming opposition from the community, the County Council approved the master plan.  The Coalition is now monitoring the implementation of the plan, particularly Johns Hopkins' proposed development on Belward Farm.

The website, www.scale-it-back.com contains testimony, letters, articles, photos and addresses related to the master plan.
