Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett celebrated the opening of the new 23,133 square-foot Glenmont Fire Station #18 on October 26. The fire station is located at the southwest intersection of Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road in Silver Spring and is the ninth new fire station built during Leggett’s 10 years as County Executive.
The design of Fire Station #18 includes many eco-friendly features; and while originally designed to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver Certification specifications; the project is now on track to receive a Gold designation pending final Green Business Certification Incorporated review and approval.
