Where Should We Build in Montgomery County?

Forums on construction and planning priorities are planned throughout the county this month.

By Whitney Teal

New schools, new recreation centers, maybe some bridge repairs—it’s all, theoretically, on the table as Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett meets with residents about the county’s future construction and planning projects.

A series of public forums are planned this month to help county officials draft the next Capital Improvements Program budget for fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2020. The previous six-year construction plan, for fiscal 2013 to 2018, called for $4.37 billion in construction, repairs and additions to the county’s bridges, schools and transit system.
