Deal Reached to Spark Odenton Town Center
The Washington Post has an update on the fabled Odenton Town Center. It may actually become a reality:
Anne Arundel County officials have reached a tentative deal to spark millions of square feet in new office space at Odenton Town Center.
Under the proposal, the Halle Cos. has agreed to spend more than $12 million to build Odenton Town Center Boulevard, a spine road that will connect several planned developments making up the town center. Halle would, in turn, receive credits it could apply toward millions of dollars in impact fees it would otherwise need to pay the county for its project.
Halle, a Silver Spring developer, wants to develop a 128-acre business park at the town center to include more than 3.5 million square feet of office space.
Plans for the entire 1,600-acre project calls for a community of shops, offices and homes to be built near the Odenton MARC train station.
