Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett has surrendered the contentious lease for the Brickyard Road property in Potomac, after two years of fighting with the neighboring community over plans to replace an organic farm there with soccer fields.

The school board accepted a letter from Leggett on Tuesday night at a special meeting that turned the lease back over to the board, according to MCPS spokesman Dana Tofig.
