*Leggett and Other Officials Participate in Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for New
2nd District Police Station *

*For Immediate Release:* Monday, January 22, 2018

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett today participated in a ribbon
cutting ceremony for the Montgomery County Police Department’s new 2nd
District station. The new station is located at 4823 Rugby Avenue
<https://maps.google.com/?q=4823+Rugby+Avenue&entry=gmail&source=g> in
Bethesda.

“This project is another excellent example of creative County partnerships
with the private sector that deliver state-of-the-art public facilities at
little or no cost to the County, while returning highly-valued
publicly-owned property to the County tax base,” said Leggett. “This
project is a win for everyone and exemplifies our continued commitment to
making the most of how we use our publicly-owned land.”

Joining Leggett were Montgomery County Councilmembers Roger Berliner and
George Leventhal, Director of General Services (DGS) David E. Dise, Chief
of Police J. Thomas Manger and StonebridgeCarras Principal Jane Mahaffie.

The former 2nd District station, constructed in 1961, was nearly 60 years
old and in dire need of major repairs. Located at a highly valuable corner
in downtown Bethesda, the building had multiple site constraints, which
made it challenging to meet the modern operational requirements and needs
of a growing district.

Montgomery County partnered with Bethesda-based developer StonebridgeCarras
to build the new station on an underutilized vacant lot within Bethesda’s
Central Business District. The new location is adjacent to County Garage
#35 (Woodmont Ave.- Rugby Ave.), which allows the project to maximize the
use of public land by using a portion of the public garage for police
vehicles and ancillary requirements.

By partnering with the private sector, the new 2nd District station was
built largely with private funding at minimal cost to the County. In
return, the County will transfer the old 2nd District site at 7359
Wisconsin Avenue
<https://maps.google.com/?q=7359+Wisconsin+Avenue&entry=gmail&source=g>,
only one block from Metro, to StonebridgeCarras and its financial partner
in the project, Buvermo Investments, as part of a 500,000-square-foot
redevelopment that will include an office building and hotel.

This new private development project returns this valuable piece of
property back to the County tax base, and meets the transit-oriented
smart-growth goals identified in the recently adopted Bethesda Downtown
Plan.

“This public-private partnership allowed us to take a vacant lot, deliver a
much-needed new police station and contribute to local economic growth,”
said Dise. “I am proud of the key role DGS served in creating the
public-private partnership, leveraging the value of the land in an exchange
that provides this important public service facility.”

“StonebridgeCarras is beyond pleased to have worked with the Department of
General Services and the Montgomery County Police Department to bring this
exciting project to completion” said Jane Mahaffie, Principal at
StonebridgeCarras.  “The 2nd District officers will now be in a
state-of-the-art police station while the County overall will receive the
benefits of a 500,000-square-foot mixed-use redevelopment on the site at
Wisconsin Avenue and Montgomery Avenue.”

“Our first Bethesda station opened 90 years ago in the basement of a County
office building,” said Chief Manger. “Today, our 2nd District station
serves 190,000 County residents and is, now, a state-of-the-art police
station.”

The four-story, 28,000-square-foot police station was designed by Michael
Baker International, constructed by Smoot Construction Company and will be
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certified.

The 2nd District Police Station serves the areas of areas of Bethesda,
Potomac, Pike District/White Flint, Somerset, Chevy Chase, Kensington,
Garrett Park and parts of Silver Spring.

The current command staff of the 2nd District Station includes Commander
Paul Liquorie, and Deputy Commanders Lieutenant Jonathan Heiderich,
Lieutenant Oneil Ormsby and Lieutenant John D’Albora.

The new 2nd District station is expected to be open to the public in
mid-February.
