The Early Bird

Correction: The county council votes on Tuesday whether to approve an accelerated review of the county's growth policy. It will vote in January on whether to impose a moratorium on new development. My bad. (Dec. 13, 2006)

If anyone's got a 250-unit condo complex they'd like to put up, do it now. Here's what's cooking this week:

Tuesday: The county council decides whether to put a temporary freeze on approving new development projects. If the resolution passes, the planning board gets six months to figure out the direction of development in Montgomery County.

Tuesday: The Kitchen hosts a reading of the new musical "Tussaud!" at the Round House Theatre (8641 Colesville Rd). Playwright Joan Cushing ("Mrs. Foggybottom and Friends") serves up song and dance about the wax-museum madame. The free performance starts at 7:00 p.m.
