About the Clarksburg Civic Association (CCA)

For decades the Clarksburg Civic Association has provided a non-partisan forum where all its citizens can meet, discuss, study, and act on issues that affect the community.

The CCA covers issues that extend far beyond what a homeowner's association covers. It is involved with regional planning issues including commercial and residential development, schools, parks, and transportation. It has an active role working with public officials from the County Council and County Executive, all the way to the State House in Annapolis.

It also serves as a means for people in different parts of the community to learn more about their town and its history, to meet neighbors, and to work and live together as a community.

WHAT DOES THE CCA DO?

The CCA was active in helping to craft the Clarksburg Master Plan, and serves as an influential means for public review and comment on all developments that may affect this plan. For example, the CCA has been active in a proposed air park, a proposed landfill, and in the definition of the new town center. Every year the CCA has a Holiday Baskets drive for local needy families. In 2002 the CCA organized events to commemorate the founding of this community 250 years before.

HOW DO I JOIN?

If you live in or own property or a business in the 20871 ZIP code, or in the Clarksburg Master Planning area, or in the area served by Clarksburg's schools, you are eligible to join. A family household membership is only $10 per year ($5 for seniors), payable to the CCA. You will receive a monthly postcard announcing our meeting topics. The CCA meets monthly, normally on the fourth Monday from 7:30 to 9:00 PM at the Clarksburg Recreation Center on Wims Road in Clarksburg.
