Prince Frederick Town Center Master Plan Meetings
Here's the info we discussed at the April BBG meeting about some very important seminars open to the public leading up to the Prince Frederick Town Center Master Plan Charrette, planned for the week of June 10. I think these are VERY important to us as local business owners to both be involved in the process and be a part of new opportunities that may be ahead for us and the BBG.
Five of these pre-charrette seminars will be held at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick. The sessions are expected to last about an hour. The first session was held earlier this week, here are the remaining meetings:
Mixing and Arranging the Ingredients: The Menu of Town Center Design
Monday, May 6, noon; Tuesday, May 7, 7 p.m.
Current Trends: Retrofitting for Sustainability
Monday, May 13, noon and 7:45 p.m.
Implications and Implementation for Prince Frederick: Markets, Demographics and the New Trajectory of Town Centers
Monday, May 20, noon; Tuesday, May 21, 7 p.m.
Overview of Charrette Process and Visual Preference Survey
Wednesday, May 29, noon and 7 p.m.
Light refreshments will be provided at each session. If you wish to attend, please RSVP to Will Selman, Calvert County Department of Community Planning and Building, at 410-535-1600, ext. 2727, or via email at selmanwl@co.cal.md.us
The charrette will focus on redevelopment of the former Calvert Middle School property and adjacent properties to north of Calvert Memorial Hospital along MD 2/4. I plan to attend as many of these as possible and also be involved in the charrette. We'll have more info at the May BBG meeting as well and of course, share what we learn with BBG members.
