“We have Leisure World, and now we have Leggett World. And that is something to celebrate,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Dist. 8) joked as a crowd of dozens of elected officials and county residents gathered in downtown Silver Spring on Thursday morning. Attendees celebrated the opening of The Leggett, a 267-unit, 16-story affordable senior housing complex named for former Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett.
