[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Most buildings have asbestos and lead paitn. it is when it is disturbed that is causes problems.....[/quote]

Right. But they will need to disturb it sooner than later. [/quote]

Why? [/quote]

Because according to an architect's thorough survey of the property in June of 1988, the interior of the buildings were very deteriorated...that was 23+ years ago, I doubt that they have improved their condition since then, so...yes, I do think MCPS will eventually have to spend money and disturb the lead and asbestos. So since they need a new middle school and these old decrepit buildings are or will be in need of tax payer money eventually, why not fill two needs at once. It makes good fiscal sense. [/quote]

Well there's a big difference between they will need to do it "eventually" and they will need to do it"sooner rather than later". It's one thing to say that the buildings can't be renovated and it's another to say that MCPS will have to spend money on them in the near future.[/quote]

Not the poster you're responding to, but you're spending way too much time splitting hairs.  The site belongs to Montgomery County taxpayers, it is way underutilized, and it should be reclaimed for expanded use now.  Some will argue that the fields are used by BCC, but I don't see why HS students can't continue to use those fields, and send the MS students over to NCC park, as an earlier poster suggested.  It amazes me that taxpayers are complacent about more development when there are sites that need to be redeveloped.  And NO, I do not live in RCH.  I don't live adjacent to any park, actually, but that doesn't mean I don't value them.[/quote]
