I was very pleased to attend the ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony for the new Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring. I joined our County Executive Ike Leggett, Congresswoman Donna Edwards, my County Council colleagues, representatives of civic and business organizations, and hundreds of neighbors and well wishers for this historic event. After the ribbon cutting, the public was invited to tour the new building, which is fantastic, and includes a “great room” and community spaces.
Congratulations to all who worked on the building, whether they were construction workers, county staff, or the tremendous residents who kept a wondrous vision of majestic public space in their hearts and minds.
I know the building will be well-used by the Montgomery County community. And I look forward to joining our neighbors there on November 11th—Veterans Day—when we dedicate the Veterans Plaza to all who have served the United States in uniform.
