Leggett: Silver Spring Transit Center Work Begins 'Within the Next Week'

County Executive Isiah Leggett answered a question about the Silver Spring Transit Center during a July live online chat. 

Here's the relevant excerpt from the transcript:

Michael from Bethesda-Chevy Chase
Is it true that additional county funds are to be spent on the troubled Silver Spring transit center? If so why? Thank you.

Mr. Leggett: Thank you for your question. The contractors working on the Silver Spring Transit Center have been working with Montgomery County and WMATA to develop a remediation plan to correct the defects at the Transit Center. It is our expectation that the contractors will pay for any work to correct defects and problems. Permits to do the remediation were issued yesterday, and work will commence within the next week.
