MCDOT Delivers Innovative Wheaton Revitalization Project

 

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) led the development and construction of the new Wheaton Revitalization Project – one of the largest projects of its kind ever built by the County. Construction of the project took 39 months and cost about $179 million. It was completed on time and within budget. Learn more.

MCDOT brokered the innovative public-private partnership that not only developed the Wheaton Revitalization project, but also led to a land swap to create a new Georgia Avenue gateway to Silver Spring, comprised of a mixed-use development on the former site of the headquarters of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). The joint venture created 1.1 million square feet of new development with affiliates StonebridgeCarras, LLC, and The Bozzuto Group.

“I am very proud that MCDOT has played a pivotal role in creating this smart-growth, transit-oriented development that has set a new design standard for public facilities in Montgomery County,” said MCDOT Director Chris Conklin.
