Statements by County Executive Ike Leggett & County Council President Nancy Floreen on the Decision by Marriott to Relocate in Downtown Bethesda
County Executive Leggett:
“I am pleased by Marriott’s decision to keep its headquarters operations and employees in Montgomery County. The County, working closely with Marriott’s team and with Governor Larry Hogan, has partnered on an agreement that benefits the company, the state, and Montgomery County. Marriott has long been a mainstay here and has been an excellent corporate citizen, giving back again and again to help strengthen our community. The Marriott brand, now the largest in the lodging world, will shine ever more brightly from right here in the county.”
Council President Nancy Floreen:
“The Montgomery County Council is very enthusiastic about the agreement reached today to relocate Marriott’s corporate headquarters in downtown Bethesda. Marriott is the gold standard for corporate excellence. We are honored they have been here for 60 years and happy they plan to stay and build. This is a good deal for the County and County taxpayers. It creates jobs, stimulates business activity, and grows the County tax base.”
