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.

Happy Holidays and Joyous 2010!
As Board President, let me first say “Thank You” to Tracy Warren (VP for the Board of Directors/Landscape Liaison) and her husband Robert for helping the county to get their act together during the past snow fall. There was a disconnect from one arm of the county who accepted the roads from Winchester Homes in May of 2009; and the arm of the county that schedules and implements the county snow removal plan.
The FACTS :
- All roads leading to and providing service to every single family home within the Chapel Grove HOA are maintained by the county. If someone tells you differently from the county they are misinformed.
- During snowfalls the county considers small side streets, cul-de-sacs, and courts to be the lowest priority. During heavier snowstorms it may take up to 1 to 2 days to get these roads plowed after snow fall has abated. The county focuses on primary roadways as their priority.
Opinion of the CG HOA BoD President:
- The county did a poor job of getting our roads in sections 5 and 6 added to the county snow removal plan.
- In this economy, it is obvious the county was operating on a shoe string budget. Even today there are places around the county that have snow piled in streets. We were lucky to have received warm weather to bail the county out of an even bigger problem, more accumulation.
Please contact the county at 410-222-7940 for any snow removal concerns.
