State of Maryland Announces $775,000 Proposed for Community Development Projects in Southern Region

Press Release |

NEW CARROLLTON, MD — The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development today announced that Southern Maryland counties are set to receive a combined $775,000 through the state’s State Revitalization Programs for 3 projects and activities that promote community development and economic growth in the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

“These projects are ready to move forward and will play a role in communities achieving their visions, which supports a more resilient, economically competitive and affordable Maryland. The Moore-Miller Administration is committed to ensuring that every dollar awarded will help strengthen the places we call home.”

- Governor Moore

The projects in the proposed budget were selected through a competitively-scored, multi-agency review process used for the State Revitalization Programs, which help support revitalization and redevelopment projects and activities, including: business expansion and retention; façade and streetscape improvements; homeownership and home rehabilitation incentives; commercial improvement programs; community facilities; mixed-use development, and demolition activities.

Projects in Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties were selected through a competitively-scored, multi-agency review process used for the State Revitalization Programs. These projects are:

  • Acquisition and consolidation of lots outside of NSF Indian Head for future development (Indian Head, Charles County);
  • Infrastructure and construction of expanded parking at the Leonardtown Wharf Public Park (Leonardtown, St. Mary’s County);
  • Continuation of minor improvements to properties within the downtown business district of Leonardtown (Leonardtown, St. Mary’s County).

“Each one of these projects advances community-driven priorities tied to revitalization goals, and helps make great places – places that strengthen economic competitiveness,” said Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Secretary Jake Day. “That investment delivers real returns: For every dollar invested through the Department’s revitalization programs, there’s approximately $17.90 in economic impact.”

The Fiscal Year 2027 State Revitalization Program awards include 252 projects, awarded a total $73.7 million. Projects in 23 of Maryland’s jurisdictions received awards through one or more of the programs. For a full list of awards, visit FY27 State Revitalization Program Awards - PDF - 443.21 KB.
