On Thursday, April 3, 2003, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approved the Facilities Master Plan for Goddard Space Flight Center's Greenbelt site. The NCPC commended Goddard for a number of technical aspects of the plan, and took note of the close coordination with external stakeholders including the Center's many residential neighbors. Completing the master plan is an important step in changing Center facilities to enable efficient, effective conduct of GSFC's mission in future years. Plans and designs are proceeding for early implementation projects including rerouting Soil Conservation Road and consolidating Space Science activities from across the site.
