Yesterday, Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett proposed to support the Wheaton Redevelopment Program and B.F. Saul with more than $40 million of public taxpayer money to realize the Wheaton redevelopment project and defray its costs.
At a budget town hall last night hosted by the County Executive, members of the Coalition for the Fair Redevelopment of Wheaton presented 500 signatures from Montgomery County residents and small businesses calling for a written agreement to protect the livelihoods of small business owners, renters, daylaborers, and patients in Wheaton during and after redevelopment in return for the public subsidy.
