Bethesda, MD, February 17, 2006 -- Geocentric announced today that Montgomery County's Silver Spring Regional Center has selected Geocentric to design and develop a new Downtown District website based on Geocentric's Citylight software.

Silver Spring is one of the premiere Arts and Entertainment Districts on the East Coast. Located in Montgomery County, Maryland, on the border of Washington DC, the city boasts several important cultural attractions including the American Film Institute Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, the Silver Spring Jazz Festival, as well as the Round House Theatre and Theatre School. Silver Spring is also home to 20,000 residents and 500 businesses, including Discovery Communications and The Discovery Channel.

Built on Geocentric's Citylight Destination Software platform, the website will feature numerous interactive features including business listings, an events calendar, and a detailed interactive map.

"We were very impressed with Geocentric's Citylight Software," said Gary Stith, Director of the Silver Spring Regional Center, "in particular, the ability to keep the interactive map and the business directory up to date as the Central Business District merchants change over time."

The new website is: SilverSpringDowntown.com.
