Montgomery restores funds for recreation facilities

Three recreation centers in historically black Montgomery County neighborhoods previously left out of County Executive Ike Leggett’s capital improvements budget may still receive funding for renovations though it could cost the county $30 million.

Last year, members of interfaith activist group Action in Montgomery asked Leggett and members of the council to pledge to set aside funds to repair recreation centers in Olney, Silver Spring, Germantown and part of Potomac.
