Plans to redevelop Wheaton up for change

Published March 11, 2012 5:00am ET



Montgomery County lawmakers on Monday will consider new ideas for how to redevelop Wheaton — ideas significantly different from those proposed by County Executive Ike Leggett.

In his fiscal 2013 capital budget, Leggett proposed a $42 million project that features a platform above the Metrobus bays at Georgia Avenue and Veirs Mill Road. On top of and adjacent to the structure the plan has office, retail and residential space. At Reedie Drive and Grandview Avenue, a 28,000-square-foot town square would be adjacent to a mixed-use development.
