Nike Site to Become Park as Community Wins Transfer
A former Nike missile site near Flower Hill and Meadowvale is transferring to Montgomery County as parkland. Officials say the value is about 2.3 million dollars, but the county receives it at no cost. Residents led the effort, with support from Sen Sarbanes and Rep Morella, to convert the Cold War relic into football, soccer, basketball and tennis facilities. Plans include demolishing two asbestoscontaining buildings and funding for future development.
