Elrich continued that Wheaton is home for him. He went to Einstein High School, his first job was at Wheaton Plaza at Embassy Father and Son, he used to race his cars at the racetrack on Georgia Avenue and he still eats at Filippos Sub Shop, which was just voted the best one in Montgomery County.
And now, he stated, after his history in Wheaton, it is so great to see how Wheaton is being transformed through major investments. His hope is that Wheaton’s new Town Center will attract more businesses and companies that interact with Park and Planning and the other newly relocated agencies and departments to move their offices nearby. Bringing more employment to Wheaton will support restaurants and services, enliven the area, and further boost the local economy.
According to Elrich, the consolidation of so many agencies and departments that work closely together and provide related services will greatly increase government communication and efficiency and improve the public’s access.
