Montgomery County’s financial picture isn’t pretty.

Home sale prices are expected to drop 15 percent in 2009. More than 13 percent of the county’s commercial space is empty, up from 5.7 percent in 2006. And the unemployment rate, though low at 5.3 percent compared with the national average, is more than double what it was a year and half ago.
