ROCKVILLE

Rockville sits at the crossroads of science, policy, and daily life, just miles from the nation's capital.

It is a city where dozens of languages are spoken in the same school hallway, where difference is ordinary.

Federal agencies and biotech firms have long called Rockville home. The knowledge economy here is real, not aspirational.

But proximity to power does not mean everyone benefits from it. Opportunity still depends too much on which side of a corridor you live on.

Housing costs rise. Small businesses compete against national chains. Young families weigh whether they can afford to stay.

Technology can close these gaps, but only if it is built with the people it is meant to serve.

Rockville does not need to become something new. It needs the tools to become more of what it already is.

The talent is here. The diversity is here. Now is the time to fast forward Rockville.
