View more event photos.

In June 2017 at the annual “Taste of Wheaton” County festival, officials broke ground for the Wheaton Revitalization Project that has transformed the former Mid-County Regional Services Center building and adjacent County-owned parking lot into a LEED Platinum County office building, Town Square civic space, underground parking garage and Triangle Lane retail space.

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation- led project had the following goals:
  • Save the County money by moving hundreds of employees from leased space to a more cost-effective publicly owned building; 
  • Boost Wheaton’s downtown economy; 
  • Promote a vibrant daytime and nighttime street life with a centrally-located public space;
  • Improve mobility;
  • Encourage Wheaton Metro Station use;
  • Enhance the environment; 
  • Increase the diversity of employment opportunities and services in the Wheaton area;
