The Planning Board approved the scope of the Wheaton Plan on May 7, 2026, studying roughly 1,000 acres that might add 3,200 to 3,700 homes by 2050. To the east, the Eastern Silver Spring Communities Plan reached the Planning Board as a working draft on October 1, 2026, with adoption targeted for fall 2027.
