Neighborhood Enhancement Partnership Program (NEPP) Application forms sent in in October 2010, entitled; McLean Broyhill Estates Stream and Path Clean-up and Maintenance

Promote healthier, safer and cleaner neighborhoods. Enhance neighborhood appearance. Encourage or create a culture of engagement, including facilitating communication and connections in neighborhoods between individuals, youth and families. Build or nurture community leadership within a neighborhood.

A significant section of the neighborhood north of Rt. 123 was previously known as “the kite hill.” Before the hill was graded for homes to be built, children would come to fly their kites on the hill. Dead Run drains the subdivision into the Potomac River. The western branch drains two Evans Farm ponds under Merrimac Drive and around the Retreat House; the eastern branch flows along the eastern property line of Pathfinder lane; and they meet in McLean Central Park. This serves to remind us that the Potomac watershed extends into our own backyards.
